Marcel Moody has been re-elected as the Chief of Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation.

The election for Chief and Council was held Wednesday and Thursday, with 1684 turning up to the five polling locations to have their say.

Despite Moody receiving more than double the support over the second-place candidate, the last council seat came down to only 28 votes.

The new NCN Council will be made up of Cheryl Moore, Willie Moore, Ron D Spence, Jackie Walker, Jeremiah Spence and Cheyenne Spence.

Moody received 960 votes, more than double what Jerry Primrose received, and more than triple the support for William Elvis Thomas.
