Wawa has elected its new mayor and council for the next four years. In a history making, neck and neck race, Linda Nowicki led by a mere 27 votes or 2% when the final votes were tallied. Linda will become Wawa\u2019s first woman Mayor in December.<\/div>\n

For Council, Holly Morrison-Smith, Yvan Besner, Ron Rody and Bill Chaisson will take seat.<\/p>\n

The final figures came in at 9:28 p.m. not a minute too soon for the anxious crowd who waited to find out the results of the battle between Howard Whent and Linda Nowicki. At that time a mere 29 votes gave Linda the lead.<\/p>\n

Mayor Howard Whent offered his congratulations to Linda Nowicki during the flurry of congratulations, and stated that although the race was so close, he would not be contesting the vote.<\/p>\n
