The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke is informing the community that Iohahí:io Delisle has submitted his resignation from the position of Ratsénhaienhs, effective Thursday, March 19, 2026.
Delisle was elected to Council in an MCK By-Election held November 5, 2022. He was later re-elected into office for another term in the 2024 MCK Election on July 6, 2024.
Delisle served as Lead on the Regulatory Boards/Commissions & Labor, and Social Supports & Development Portfolios, and held the Portfolio for External Government Relations, Lands & Territories, and Economic Development. Official re-allocation of Delisle’s portfolios will be determined at the duly convened Council Meeting scheduled for Monday, March 30th.
