Larry Iron was elected yesterday as the new vice chief for the Meadow Lake Tribal Council.
Iron will sit for a term of four years after receiving 26 of the 48 unspoiled votes in the election.
He defeated the previous vice chief, Dwayne Lasas, who was in the position for eight years, or two terms.
The tribal council says the installment of Iron as vice chief is effective immediately.
The MLTC is the advocate of nine First Nations in the province and has over 12,000 registered members.
