David Masty has been acclaimed as chief of Whapmagoostui.

There were no other candidates for the job at a nomination meeting held June 12.

Masty has been chief since last November, when then-chief Matthew Mukash stepped down after getting elected as deputy grand chief. Masty was elected by acclamation then too to complete Mukash’s three-year term as chief.

The community is holding another election June 28 to fill seven council positions.
