9:10 p.m. — Cayetano Not Worried About Lack of 50 Percent

By /

Just sat down with Ben Cayetano to talk about the results so far. 

While he’s still hopeful to pull out more than 50 percent of the vote and end the election today, he has a plan for a runoff.

Right now it seems like that runoff will be againt former Honolulu Managing Director Kirk Caldwell, who has pulled in about 30 percent of the vote so far.

This leaves incumbent Mayor Peter Carlisle on the outside looking in with 24 percent of the vote. Meantime, the mayor’s just given his concession speech.
