Michael D. Duman was declared the winner of the Suffolk mayoral race Monday by a razor-thin margin, according to election results certified by the Virginia State Board of Elections. The certified results show Duman out gained his opponent Clinton L. Jenkins by a mere 164 votes (0.32%). The tight margin could trigger a request for recount by Jenkins, however, in a statement on Nov. 15, Jenkins was unsure if he would make that request.
