A group of residents in Prince George’s County, Maryland, has filed a lawsuit against the county council and member Wala Blegay hoping to overturn her December appointment to an at-large seat. The plaintiffs in this case aren’t claiming the council doesn’t have the right to do that; their argument is with how the council executed that process. Blegay was already on the council representing District 6 and was appointed to the at-large seat, creating another opening on the council. Any Council Member appointed this year must run for election to hold the seat beyond December 2026.”Blegay declined WTOP’s request for comment.
