HAGÅTÑA (The Guam Daily Post) — The Guam Election Commission completed its final tabulation report just before 4 a.m., Wednesday, representing the final unofficial results of the general election held Tuesday.
Democrat Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero and Republican Sen. James Moylan, are expected to be declared the winners in the races for governor and Congress, respectively.
Leon Guerrero and running mate Lt. Gov. Josh Tenorio garnered 18,381 votes which represents 55.45% of ballots cast.
While not official results yet, the initial returns were enough for the Republican gubernatorial ticket of former Gov. Felix Camacho and Sen. Tony Ada to concede their defeat, and the incumbent Democrat ticket to declare victory.
In the delegate race, James Moylan secured 17,075 votes or 52.19%, roughly 1,600 votes more than his Democratic opponent Judith Won Pat.
In the local legislative race, there will be some new faces among veteran legislators with a projected Democratic majority in the 37th Guam Legislature:

The GEC tabulated 2,495 write-in votes, although it wasn’t disclosed how many of those were for Peter Santos, who mounted a late candidacy in the 2022 cycle.
The results are preliminary and still must be certified by the GEC. According to the GEC, the results will not be certified until administrative complaints are addressed and write-ins, provisional ballots and absentee ballots are reviewed.
The GEC will be meeting at 5 p.m. Nov. 23, to conduct the review.
