| Description | His signs urged "Don't be a Hound Dog, vote for Elvis," but the voters left him lonesome tonight.
Elvis Aaron Presley, the Independent candidate running in Pelly-Nisutlin, finished last in a four-person race.
Although he briefly held a lead after the first poll was reported, Presley quickly fell to the bottom of the count and did not recover.
When all the ballots were counted the colourful candidate managed to capture seven per cent of the popular vote — 40 votes in all — but finished far behind the winner, Marian Horne of the Yukon Party, who took 42 per cent of the vote totalling 241 ballots.
Presley, whose signs were vandalized during the campaign, resorted to laying in wait at the end of the road with a video recorder, hoping to capture the crime on camera. He was unsuccessful. |
