ATLANTA — Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp says he will not call a special legislative session to change the powers of the governor’s office or redraw district boundaries before his term ends in January.

Kemp made the announcement Wednesday morning following Tuesday’s election results, which saw Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms win the governor’s race.

There had been speculation that Kemp could call lawmakers back to the Georgia General Assembly before leaving office to consider changes to executive branch powers or redistricting.

However, Kemp said he intends to respect the outcome of Georgia’s elections.

“I will not be calling a special session of the Georgia General Assembly in order to curtail executive branch powers or debate redistricting changes. There are, however, budgetary issues that may need to be addressed before the convening of the regular session in January,” Kemp said in a statement.

The governor also acknowledged the results of what he described as secure, accessible and fair elections, saying Georgia voters have made their decision.

Bottoms is scheduled to take office in January.
