Shawn Atleo missed the magic 60 per cent mark for re-election by three votes on the second ballot, sending chiefs to the polls of a third time Wednesday in the election for national chief of the Assembly of First Nations.
Needing only 40 votes to secure a second term as national chief Assembly of First Nations, Shawn Atleo appeared poised for victory on the second ballot.
Hundreds of First Nations chiefs began voting Wednesday morning for one of eight candidates vying to lead the country’s most influential organization for the next three years.
After introductions that used over five of her allotted 15 minutes, Mi’kmaq candidate Pam Palmater said she believes the next national chief faces hard times ahead.
With less than 24 hours until chiefs elect a new leader of the Assembly of First Nations, it’s make-or-break time for the eight candidates.
