John Kitchen was re-elected as Chief of Waswanipi in the Aug. 29 community election.
It was a tight race with the second-place contender, Paul Gull, only 35 or so votes behind Kitchen, whose previous administration was marred by a drinking-and-driving charge and controversy over his agreements with Domtar Inc.
Full results were not available as of press time for the Chief and Council elections. Kitchen was in the bush and not available for comment.
Look for an interview in an upcoming issue.
