There is again a full compliment of councillors for the Penticton Indian Band.
A by-election was held Wednesday to chose councillors to replace five who had resigned.
Those elected from a slate of eight candidates are:
Fredrick Kruger 162 votes
Inez Pierre 145 votes
Joan Phillip 140 votes
Ernest Jack 132 votes
Kyle Alec 91 votes
“We are so proud of all of our community members and their passion for being involved,” said Chief Chad Eneas in a news release. “We welcome the newly elected council and look forward to their fresh perspectives as they each contribute their own personal and professional experience for the whole of the community.”
The first meeting for the new council is December 5th.
The legitimacy of the by-election was challenged by protesters outside the polling station who claimed proper procedures were not followed.
