The Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party has revoked its endorsement of State Sen. Omar Fateh in the Minneapolis mayoral race after an internal review concluded that the party’s 19 July convention was marred by serious voting irregularities. The Constitution, Bylaws & Rules Committee reported a 176-vote undercount in the first round of electronic balloting, which led to mayoral candidate DeWayne Davis being wrongly dropped from contention. Only 578 votes were recorded even though more than 1,000 delegates and alternates had been checked in, and the entire Ward 5 credentials book went missing during the proceedings. Citing the “substantial failures” uncovered, the committee voided the endorsement, placed the Minneapolis DFL on two-year probation and barred the local chapter from holding another 2025 mayoral endorsing convention unless it submits a corrective plan to the state executive committee. Fateh, a democratic socialist whose July victory was the first Minneapolis mayoral endorsement issued by the DFL in 16 years, condemned the move as disenfranchisement of delegates. Incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey, who had formally challenged the result, welcomed the decision and said it restores confidence in the process. Both candidates remain on the ballot for November, but the party enters the general election without an endorsed contender.
