BREAKING Los Angeles City Council elects Paul Krekorian as new president in wake of Martinez resignation
Krekorian is replacing former Council President Nury Martinez, who resigned her leadership post and her council seat after she was caught on a leaked recording making racist comments and discussing manipulations of the city redistricting process.
Legally the council cannot force members from office, short of serious criminal accusations, but most council members have said their resignation is the only way for the city to heal and move forward."Paul is a committed and conscientious leader who can bring a smart, collaborative, and effective approach to a painful moment when Angelenos deserve steady leadership on the City Council," Garcetti said.
Also protesters with Black Lives Matter remain camped out in de León's neighborhood, saying they will stay there until he steps down. De León has been publicly quiet since the scandal erupted and there was no sign of him at the home.
