With 87 percent of the votes counted, Republicans David Gilmour and Richard Scott held off a challenge by former council member Dan Levine in Tuesday’s borough council election.

Scott, who was recruited to fill the vacancy created in September by the death of Councilman Jonathan Bitman, and Gilmour handily won three-year terms.

Donald Galante ran uncontested for a one-year unexpired term.

Here are the results as of 10:30 p.m., with six of seven voting districts counted, according to the Monmouth County Clerk’s office:
