A petition seeking the impeachment of Muscokee (Creek) Nation principal chief George Tiger failed to get enough signatures. The petition was to be filed by 5 p.m. Monday with the tribal election board.
A total of 3,290 signatures were needed in order for the petition to be brought to the Naitonal Council.
Tiger has been under fire for several months after accusations linking him with a failed casino project in Broken Arrow.
After hearing the petition was not filed, Tiger said he was, "very humbled and grateful for the outpouring of encouragement I have received from hundreds of Muscogee (Creek) citizens."
Tiger has already announced he would run for reelection later this year.
