Two-way race in ITK presidential election – Penticton Herald

Two candidates will be on the ballot in September for the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami presidential election.

Incumbent Natan Obed will face former CBC North managing editor Kevin Kablutsiak.

ITK, the national organization representing Canadian Inuit, made the announcement Friday morning, a day after the nomination deadline.

The winner will be determined Sept. 18 during the organization’s annual general meeting in Cambridge Bay.

Obed, 49, has been at the helm of ITK since 2015. He is the longest-serving president in the organization’s history.
