Manhattan Democratic Party boss Keith Wright snuffed out a last-ditch effort by reformers to oust him from power.

Dissidents at a county committee meeting led by district leader Paul Newell and state committeeman Ben Yee, tried to push through a resolution that would have forced Wright to choose between his leadership post and his lucrative day job as a lobbyist for Davidoff Hutcher & Citron.

Before the meeting, Wright had successfully used procedural hurdles to block consideration of the motion. Rebels were hoping that Yee could win the vote for county party chair — a mostly ceremonially position — which would have allowed him to independently raise the issue.

That strategy, however, ended in failure when his challenger for chairman, Patrick Bobilin, vice president of the East River Democratic Club, accused Yee of “harassment and stalking,” without going into detail.

“It gives me no pleasure to talk about this,” Bobilin, 36, said to a chorus of boos from the audience of nearly 1,000 Dems at Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park on Thursday.

“You are booing victims,” Bobilin shrieked. “Don’t vote for me, but don’t vote for … Ben Yee. For shame. It’s shameful that he’s running.”

In his own remarks, Yee denied any impropriety, but in a statement to The Post admitted to one instance involving a college misunderstanding with an ex-girlfriend who was “made to feel uncomfortable by my actions.”

“I paid her a surprise visit in college in an attempt to win her back with a grand gesture. She wasn’t happy to see me; she was scared and angry and yelled at me, so I left,” he said, adding that he regretted the gesture.

In the end, it was Wright’s candidate, Domenico Minerva, who finished with the most votes. Wright declined to comment.

Wright, who spent more than two decades in Albany as a state assemblyman, has faced scrutiny from watchdog groups over the possibility that his current position allows him to lobby Manhattan lawmakers whose careers he can have influence over.

“For almost three years, Common Cause/NY has said Keith Wright can either be party chairman or a lobbyist but he can’t have it both ways,” Susan Lerner, executive director of the group said. “The opportunities to wield his political position for personal enrichment, or use his position to advance a client’s agenda present a clear conflict of interest.”
