Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami draws 3 candidates for president

Natan Obed of Iqaluit and Jerry Komaksiutiksak of Ottawa have both thrown their names in the ring to take on the incumbent president of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.

Terry Audla, who was first elected in 2012, has confirmed he will seek a second term. 

ITK board members and delegates are set to choose the next president through a secret ballot on Sept. 17 at the organization's annual general meeting in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut.

Candidates will have 10 minutes to speak, and are encouraged to give their remarks in person.

However, they may also speak by telephone.
