Special Statement from Nits’ilʔin (Chief) Joe Alphonse, O.B.C, LL.D. (hon.). Tribal Chair, Tŝilhqot’in National Government and Chief of Tl'etinqox Government:
"Good day, this is to confirm that I will not let my name stand to run for Chief and or Council in the 2025 Tl'etinqox Government election.
It has been a wonderful, but sometimes turbulent, 16 years as Chief of Tl'etinqox. I am proud of the work I've done and leaving the community in the best financial situation it has ever seen. I feel it is time to move on and place my personal health first. It has been a difficult decision to step away and I hope the community can keep moving forward and build upon what I have established.
I would also like to thank all of my supporters throughout my term as Chief. Without support you can't be Chief - so I am, and always will be, grateful for that. Politics in any realm isn't an easy game. It is a priority to look after your personal health.
Best wishes to the community and all the candidates running in this election."
