The decision to strip Fateh of his endorsement came after incumbent Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey challenged the DFL’s voting process.

Fateh, a democratic socialist, won the endorsement on July 19 at a Minneapolis DFL convention marked by difficulties and delays with the party’s electronic voting system.

A spokesperson with Omar Fatah's campaign said they see this as disenfranchisement of thousands of Minneapolis caucus-goers and the delegates.
