Alexander First Nation has no chief and council after the results of a band election were overturned following an appeal ruling that concluded election regulations were violated.

The quashing of the July election results was confirmed by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada. A document obtained by CBC states there is no elected council in place following the ruling.

“At this point, there is currently no sitting chief and council and all seats are currently vacant as a result of the Appeal Board’s decision,” wrote Geraldine Hill, chairperson of the Alexander appeal board, in an email dated Aug. 31.
