Mayor Nutter swept to a second term Tuesday, easily besting Republican Karen Brown by a 3-1 ratio.
With more than 96 percent of the precincts counted, Nutter had trumped his GOP rival and independent candidate Wali "Diop" Rahman.
Introduced by his teenage daughter, Olivia, to a crowd at the Radisson Plaza-Warwick Hotel, Nutter said: "It is with great pride and humility that I say thank you. Tonight is not a night for satisfaction but for impatience. . . . We have in fact begun the renaissance of this great city, but we're not done yet."
When asked about capturing 24 percent of the vote, Brown said, "It says Michael Nutter should start listening to the little guy. We ran this race with no support, no money - not even from our own party - and we pulled this off."
Rahman, who won about 3 percent of the vote, called his campaign "a victory for the people," especially "the historically oppressed black and Latino communities."
For instance, its clients Shangri-La Hotel and Royal Plaza on Scotts clinched the Asean Energy Award in 2002 and 2004 respectively.
