Byron Louis is still chief of the Okanagan Indian Band.
Louis was re-elected by a healthy margin in the band election, which took place before the long weekend.
The incumbent had 275 votes for chief, well ahead of his nearest rival for the job, Daniel Anthony Wilson, who drew 163 votes. Former chief Fabian Alexis came in third place with 130 votes.
The Okanagan Indian Band has about 1,400 band members who were eligible to vote in the election.
Ten people were elected to the band council. They were: Homer Alexis, Lyle Brewer, Barbara Cole, Tim Isaac, Allan Brent Louis, Coo-la Cachoot Louis, Raymond Joseph Marchand, Russel Williams, Daniel Anthony Wilson and Leland V. Wilson. A total of 25 candidates ran for a seat on the band council.
The band recently asserted its claim to a portion of the defunct CN Rail right of way that runs between Coldstream and Kelowna, and Louis made headlines by commencing legal action to halt the potential sale of the corridor to local governments for use as a recreation trail.
