Michael Mulgrew handily won re-election as United Federation of Teachers president Saturday, clinching more than half the votes for his sixth term.

Mulgrew got 54 percent of the mailed-in ballots, sources said.

His closest competitor, A Better Contract candidate Amy Arundell, netted 32 percent, according to numbers obtained by The Post.

Olivia Swisher, the candidate from the Alliance of Retired and In-Service Educators, finished third with approximately 14 percent of the vote.

All told, 201,791 ballots were mailed in with 413 voided for various reasons.

The full and complete count was announced around 3:30 p.m. via Instagram.

Sources revealed fewer than 30 percent of eligible UFT voters mailed ballots in.

“Apathy prevails in this union of educators,” offered retired teacher Arthur Goldstein, an A Better Contract candidate for assistant secretary.

The votes were counted by the independent Global Election Services.

It was the slimmest margin of victory since Mulgrew’s first run more than a decade ago, sources said.

In 2022, Mulgrew’s Unity party won with 66 percent of the votes, besting United For Change’s then-34 percent.

Mulgrew’s new three-year term begins July 1.
