Election 2014

For some voters on Tuesday, Western Navajo had a broken-hearted atmosphere.

supporters of Russell Begaye and Jonathan Nez prepared to march over to the Window Rock Sports Center and celebrate one of the biggest upsets in tribal politics in decades.

“It’s not what we expected but you know all along we wanted for the people to speak. They have and the numbers are what they are.”

The Navajo Supreme Court Monday ordered Tuesday’s election for tribal president to go forward after declaring that Friday’s district court decision to be “null and void.”
