If Chicarelli wins the election, it could be interpreted as a harbinger of what 2022 might look like in the suburbs of Bergen. However, it is a confrontation between Benin and Chicarella; none of them are burdened by the top of the ticket.
The seat occupied by Benin remains vacant until a winner is certified, which will take place at least later this month after the return of treatment ballots.
