Election 2014

Election officials still have not been able to announce a new date for the election of Navajo Nation president because of the ongoing battle within the tribal court system over Russell Begaye’s right to run for the post.

Even though there is a lot of uncertainty about the coming election for Navajo Nation president, people are beginning to talk about a transition to the new leadership.

Russell Begaye is qualified to run for Navajo Nation president.

No decision today from the Office of Hearings and Appeals regarding Russell Begaye and the complaint filed against him for not being qualified to run for tribal president.

The candidacy of Russell Begaye for president was still up in the air Wednesday after a two-day hearing before the Office of Hearings and Appeals.
