As of Friday morning, only six votes separate Democrats Doyle Niemann and Deni Taveras for the Prince George’s County’s District 2 council seat, according to unofficial primary results.

“I haven’t seen it this close in all the years I’ve been doing this,” Alisha Alexander, Prince George’s Election Director told The Washington Post.

Niemann currently holds the lead for the nomination with 2,324 votes, but Taveras is only trailing with 2,318.

The outcome of the race hinges on 122 provisional ballots to be counted Wednesday, according to the Post.

Niemann has already represented most of the communities comprising district 2 -- Hyattsville, Langley Park, Lewisdale, Chillum and Adelphi -- during his service as a state delegate in Annapolis since 2002, on the county school board and on Mount Ranier’s city council, the Post reports. His platform includes increase job growth, stimulating economic development and improving schools.

Returns are unofficial at this point, but the updated results Friday morning are:
