Minnesota Liberal Democratic party bans Somali-American candidate life time from seeking party endorsement
The Minnesota DFL party has voted to ban a Minneapolis city council candidate from ever seeking the party’s nomination.
The move stems from chaos at the Minneapolis Ward 10 endorsing convention on May 13, and results in a ban on Minneapolis City Council candidate Nasri Warsame from seeking the DFL endorsement for any office.
His supporters were allegedly among the instigators in the brawl at the Ward 10 convention, where he was challenging incumbent Aisha Chughtai.
MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke with DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin about the decision.
