New Charlotte City Council member to be sworn into office Tuesday after Bokhari resignation
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — The newest member of Charlotte City Council is slated to take his oath of office Tuesday. Council members selected Edwin Peacock III to fill the District 6 seat left open by last month's resignation of Tariq Bokhari. Peacock, a Republican, previously served two terms on the council and twice ran for mayor. He will take his oath at the council's 5 p.m. business meeting. It also will be the first meeting since two major legal matters have come about with council members. Police Chief Johnny Jennings' settlement details were revealed Sunday night when he announced his retirement, and Councilwoman Tiawana Brown pled not guilty Friday to COVID fund fraud charges. Peacock's abbreviated term will end in December, and he says he will not run for reelection in the fall. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
