Gibson’s final-round advantage over Cabrera stood at 7% after the inclusion of absentee ballots in the five-candidate primary.
Gibson, who represents a slice of the Bronx that includes Yankee Stadium, had held a 6% final-round in a preliminary tally published by the Board of Elections last week.
The hopefuls campaigned this spring to replace the current officeholder, Ruben Diaz Jr., who has held the post since 2009. The Democratic battle is thought to functionally determine the next borough president in the deep-blue Bronx.
