Federal court finds Lecoq legitimate winner of PBCN urban councillor by-election
After more legal wrangling, Clarisse Lecoq remains the Prince Albert urban councillor for the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation.
A protracted battle over the position has been being waged since 2018.
Warren McCallum was initially elected as urban councillor in a general election more than two years ago.
Lecoq challenged these results and was successful in forcing an August 2019 by-election which she won.
McCallum in turn challenged the latest results and was granted a new by-election by the appeals tribunal.
However, the by-election was put on hold after a federal court granted a motion by Lecoq for an injunction to stay the election and retain her position until the matter could be reviewed.
