.Rahm Emanuel prevented from running for Chicago mayor
Rahm Emanuel, the former White House chief of staff, has been prevented from running for election as mayor of Chicago because he didn’t live in the city in the year before the election.
Mr Emanuel moved back to Chicago in October after he stepped down from working for Mr Obama to campaign full-time.
Before Monday’s ruling, attorney Burt Odelson, who represents voters objecting to Mr Emanuel’s candidacy, had little success in trying to keep him off the ballot.
The Chicago Board of Election Commissioners and a Cook County judge have both ruled in favour of Mr Emanuel, a former congressman, saying he didn’t abandon his Chicago residency when he went to work at the White House.
