Recall Effort Falls Short But Not Forgotten | Baton Rouge News
Description
The recall effort to oust East Baton Rouge Parish Mayor-President Sid Edwards fell short, falling short of the nearly 50,000 signatures needed to trigger a special election. Launched in February 2026 by Aaron Banks and Marian Gbaiwon amid growing public frustration, the campaign didn’t make the ballot—but organizers vow to keep pushing for accountability, citing past efforts against Governor Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill. Though this petition didn’t succeed, the momentum behind it remains, setting the stage for future activism.
