Meet the candidates seeking to be national chief of the Assembly of First Nations
OTTAWA — The Assembly of First Nations is choosing a new national chief as part of its three-day special assembly in Ottawa.
There were six candidates competing to lead the Assembly of First Nations, a political advocacy organization representing more than 600 First Nations across Canada.
The first round of voting did not produce a winner and the two lowest-ranking candidates, Reginald Bellerose and Craig Makinaw, were dropped from the second ballot Wednesday afternoon.
Here are the four remaining candidates competing to be the assembly’s chief advocate.
