Okay so this is a weird one, fam, but it’s real. Saikat Chakrabarti, who just a minute ago was running his own thing, is now telling his campaign staff to back Connie Chan. This is according to a city media release from Saturday, June 13, 2026. If you remember, Chakrabarti and Chan were, like, hella rivals. Chan represents District 1, which is over in the Richmond, and she’s been pretty consistent on her platform. Chakrabarti was trying to come up as a new voice, but it looks like he’s pivoting hard.
This kind of thing isn't new in the City, though. People shift alliances faster than the fog rolls in sometimes. What it tells you is that the political landscape is always moving, especially with elections always around the corner.
* **Who:** Saikat Chakrabarti and Connie Chan. * **What:** Chakrabarti is directing his campaign staff to support Chan. * **When:** Announced Saturday, June 13, 2026. * **Why it matters:** Signals a significant political alignment shift, especially between former rivals.
We’ll have to see if this alliance holds, or if it's just a temporary truce before the next political storm hits. That's the City, fam — fog, hills, and all.
