Métis Nation-Saskatchewan (MNS) President Dwayne Roth is waving the white flag, apparently ready to end the modern day Métis rebellion he and his followers have been waging for the better part of a year. Saying he must act in the best interest of the Métis people, Roth has announced he would support holding another election this fall if the province is willing to pay for it. Roth's presidency has been a rocky one from the word go. When the unofficial results of the MNS election-held on May 26, 2004-were announced, it was presidential candidate Robert Doucette who was named the winner. Following completion of the official count on June 3, Doucette was declared president. A few hours later it was discovered one ballot box hasn't been included in the official count. The ballots in that box were enough to change the outcome, and Roth was declared the new MNS president.
