I am watching the Subject-Verb Proximity video on Magoosh and, while the video is highlighting a different construction preference for the following statement, it also notes that this statement is grammatically correct:
The new city supervisor was elected, who ran against Johnson, citing his corruption charges blah blah.
I have seen similar constructions as correct answers in practice guides. Is it really correct to have the pronoun 'who' after a verb and object?
Why is this correct?

That doesn't seem correct to me. My understanding is that 'wh' modifiers should typically be right next to the noun they modify. The only exception is that another short modifier can sometimes appear between the 'wh' modifier and its noun. For instance, these are okay:
The Queen, who was hideous, commissioned a royal portrait.
The portrait of the Queen, which was hideous, fell to the floor.
Can you link to the specific video?
