(KRON) -- After holding out for nearly two weeks, recalled Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price conceded on Monday. Price was recalled by a significant majority of Alameda County voters. The Associated Press called the election in favor of the recall passing on the Friday following the election. However, Price refused to concede for more than a week after AP had called it. On Friday, she sent a defiant statement out to supporters, vowing to "wait until every vote is counted in Alameda County." On Friday, the Alameda County election results were updated with Price seeing a slight uptick in support. On Monday, she at last conceded, issuing a statement saying, "the voters have spoken, and while the outcome is not what we hoped for, I respect their decision." Earlier on Monday, Price announced she will hold a news conference to discuss the results of the Nov. 5 election. Protect the Win, the organization opposing the recall, announced Price will address the media at noon on Monday at Fluid 510, a lounge in Oakland.
