D.N.C. Takes Step to Void Election of David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta as Vice Chairs
The accreditation committee in the National Democratic Committee voted on Monday to cancel the results of the vote on the internal party, which made David Huwa, the party’s vice president, and decided that the elections did not follow the appropriate parliamentary measures.
The decision – which came nearly three hours after internal discussion and one vote – will put the issue before the Full Democratic National Committee. You must decide whether to force Mr. Huj and Vice President, Malcolm Kenyatta, to run again in other elections later this year.
Mr. Huj, 25, one of the extensive survivors of the 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida, pushed a fierce violent reaction On his plans To spend up to $ 20 million through another organization he heads, and the leaders we deserve, on the initial campaigns against the current Democrats. Ken Martin, party leader, He said it’s inappropriate In order for Mr. Hogg to interfere in the introductory elections while working as a party official, and recommended changing the party’s regulations to force him to sign a neutral pledge.
The decision of the accreditation committee on Monday was not technically related to Mr. Hogg’s decision to participate in the preliminary elections. Instead, this was the result of a complaint from one of the losing candidates in the Vice President race, Kalyn Free. Ms. Free said that the party has incorrectly gathered two separate questions in one vote, and was placed in a non -favorable position on the candidates due to the party’s bases between the sexes.
In a statement, Mr. Huj acknowledged that the decision was on a procedural basis, but said, “It is also impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party that is looming on the horizon because of this vote.”
He added: “DNC pledged to remove me, and this vote has provided a way to track this effort.”
In a statement, Mr. Martin said: “I am disappointed when I learned that before I became a president, there was a procedural error in the February Vice -President elections. The accreditation data committee issued their recommendation, and I am confident that DNC members will review the committee’s decision carefully and solve this matter fairly.”
Mr. Hogg’s decision to engage in the preliminary elections was not the subject of the discussion on Monday, which led to the employment of mysterious parliamentary measures and the decision of party officials to combine votes for the recent Vice President’s openings in one vote.
Mr. Huj and Mr. Kenyatta were elected at the same time. Mr. Kenyatta, 34, is the legislator of the state in Pennsylvania, and their election as a deputy chairs who injected two younger votes in the party leadership.
“This is related to fairness and to ensure that three women and members of voting in DNC,” Ms. Free said in a statement before the meeting.
The accreditation data committee appeared torn on what to do. A preliminary decision by Christine Pelosi, daughter of former House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, seeks to reject the complaint led to a tie vote. A second decision was finally approved by new elections with the same candidates who participated in February.
