Ali Sheikhani, a Pakistani-American, has won the constable election in Fort Bend County, Texas, securing 52.22% of the votes against Democrat Nabil Shike. This election saw a total of 76,477 votes cast. Sheikhani's victory was aided by a strong campaign and the decision of a rival Democratic candidate to remain in the race, which may have affected Shike's support. Sheikhani expressed gratitude for the community's backing and pledged to serve with integrity. In the U.S., constables enforce laws, make arrests, and handle legal documents. Shike plans to run for another election next year after recently graduating as a lawyer.
