Results are in.

Only two of the sitting mayors ran for AngajukKâk in the 5 coastal communities, one was elected, Herb Jacque of Makkovik. The other winners are; Danny Michelin in Rigolet, Judy Dicker in Hopedale, Glen Sheppard in Postville and Sarah Erickson in Nain. Mina Campbell in NWR, Mackie Winters in GB [elected unopposed] are the two leaders of the corporations in the Lake Melville region.
Good luck and good wishes to all of them, and to the other candidates who ran.

Voter turn out was disappointing in the two predominately Inuit Communities; Nain had 51%. Hopedale only 49% bother to vote. Others were Rigolet 74%. Makkovik 91%. Postville 85% and NWR with 81%.

Seems there is a shortage of people putting there names forward for the community governments in each community, which is following historical lines.
