The United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma held an election on Monday.

Chief George Wickliffe was re-elected to his third term with 57 percent of the vote. He has presided over the tribe's first successful land-into-trust applications.

Assistant Chief Charles Locust will enter a run-off against Joe Bunch. Locust failed to receive 50 percent of the vote, triggering the December 3 run-off.

Secretary Joyce Hawk won re-election with 51 percent of the vote. Treasurer Ella Mae Cooksey Worley was also re-elected with 55 percent of the vote.
