The Pictou Landing First Nation held its band elections yesterday.
Andrea Paul was returned for another term as Chief, beating out second place challenger Hubert Nicholas in a three person race.
Three incumbents were returned to band council, Haley Marie Bernard, Dominic Denny and Jenny Fraser.
In the race for the final seat on council, there was a tie between incumbent Derek Francis and challenger April Mae Nicholas. To break the tie, Electoral Officer Brenda Tracey placed the names of the two candidates in a bag and drew one. The name of April Mae Nicholas was drawn, and she becomes a member of band council.
Two other newcomers were elected to band council, Jonathan Beadle and Marsha Mills.
