Navajo Nation Vice President Frank Dayish Jr. is preparing to challenge his boss for the presidency of the largest tribe in the United States.
Dayish has named a campaign manager and has picked up the paperwork to start a run for president of the Navajo Nation. He plans to announce his candidacy on Monday in Shiprock, New Mexico.
President Joe Shirley Jr. is seeking re-election for a second term. But Dayish didn't know about the official announcement until being told by local news media.
