Kelly Seeking Leadership of AFN

The former Grand Chief of Treaty 3 is in the running for the top post with the Assembly of First Nations.

Diane Kelly has officially announced her candidacy for the Grand Chief position.

Kelly says it will now be a busy time on the road.

Kelly says there hasn't been a strong treaty voice over the past 4-years and notes she's ready to challenge the majority Government.

The vote will take place July 18th.

A total of eight names will be on the ballot, including incumbant Grand Chief, Shawn Atleo.
