Stephen McComber Wins MCK By-Election
Written by Paul Graif on 3 December 2022
Stephen Angus McComber captured Saturday’s by-election for one seat at the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake table. Running in his second straight by-election, McComber doubled the amount of votes he received a month ago. He was elected with 161 votes, ahead of Bobbi Dee Deere who received 108 votes in her favour. It was also her second attempt at achieving Council Chief status. Deere failed to receive a sufficient amount of votes in the 2018 General Election.
According to Electoral Officer Angus Montour, there were no spoiled ballots among the 269 votes cast.
McComber is expected to be sworn in first thing at the Monday morning MCK weekly meeting. He will stay on until the next General Election which is scheduled for the summer of 2024.
(Corrected from earlier version when we erroneously stated that Deere only received 101 votes)
