“Justice was served," candidate Misba Abdin says of a ruling overturning a Board Of Elections decision that nixed his campaign
A Brooklyn Supreme Court judge revived the candidacy of an East New York businessman named Misba Abdin for Rafael Espinal’s former seat on the New York City Council and called the controversial decision by the Board of Elections decision last week to reject the candidacy of him and three others “absurd.” The decision means that a Democratic Party official named Darma Diaz will no longer be running for the slot unopposed on June 23rd.
