According to unofficial results, Rob Harmon will face off against Charlie Riley in a runoff election for the Republican nomination for Montgomery County Precinct 2 commissioner on May 27.

With all 89 precincts reporting after the March 4 primary election, Harmon tallied 43.48 percent of the vote to Riley's 39.95 percent. Ricky Rickett, the third candidate vying for the nomination, finished with 16.57 percent of the vote. All results are unofficial until canvassed.

"We certainly didn't want to be in a runoff after the primary, but that's where we are and we will gear up and come out on top," Riley said. "Our goal was to win this race and we are going to run hard and make it to the end."

Harmon was unavailable for comment as of press time.

The winner will replace Craig Doyal as Montgomery County Precinct 2 Commissioner, who has served in that capacity for 12 years and is seeking the Republican nomination for Montgomery County Judge. The winner, who will serve a four-year term, will run unopposed in the November general election, as there is no challenger from the Democratic Party.

Early voting for the primary runoff election will be May 19-23.
