Several challenges filed with the Minnesota DFL are seeking to nullify State Sen. Omar Fateh's party endorsement for Minneapolis mayor, claiming irregularities with the voting process.

Omar Fateh, 35, a Minnesota state Senator, won the endorsement of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party for Minneapolis mayor over Jacob Frey, who has been in office since 2018.

Omar Fateh was endorsed by a vote of hands Saturday after Mayor Jacob Frey reportedly instructed his delegates to leave the endorsing convention.

Following the verdict, Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy, a Democrat, said Nicole Mitchell "has told colleagues that she intended to resign if found guilty of this crime, and I expect her to follow through on that pledge.
