MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – DFL Chairman Ken Martin has called for an emergency meeting this week of the party’s executive committee, following chaos at the endorsement convention Saturday in the race to represent Ward 10 on the Minneapolis City Council. In an earlier statement, Martin had pinned responsibility for the conflict on challenger Nasri Warsame’s campaign, saying just as incumbent Minneapolis Council Member Aisha Chughtai was about to speak supporters of Warsame “punched multiple women of color” on her team, and had “shoved and harassed” LGBTQ+ delegates and supporters of Chughtai.
