OTTAWA – The Assembly of First Nations is headed into a second round of voting to choose a new national chief, after the first ballot did not put any of the six candidates over the 60 per cent threshold to win.
Cindy Woodhouse, the current regional chief for Manitoba, is in the lead, while the two lowest-ranking candidates, Reginald Bellerose and Craig Makinaw, have been dropped from the second ballot.
More coming.
