释义 |
A presidential election was held in Kiribati on 17 October 2007,[1] following the 2007 parliamentary election. President Anote Tong, who was re-elected to parliament in the first round of the parliamentary election, sought another term as president.[2] At the first parliamentary session,[1] four candidates were chosen to appear on the ballot: Anote Tong, Patrick Tatireta, Timon Aneri, and Nabuti Mwemwenikarawa. Opposition nominees Harry Tong (Anote Tong's brother) and Tetaua Taitai were excluded from the ballot,[3] upon which the opposition called for a boycott of the election.[4] Consequently, voter turnout was just above 50%. Tong won more than 15,500 votes, Mwemwenikarawa won over 8,000 votes, and Tatireta and Anera won less than 400 votes each.[4] {{Kiribatian presidential election, 2007}}References1. ^1 "Unclear election results for Kiribati President", ABC Radio Australia, 31 August 2007. {{Kiribatian elections}}{{Oceania-election-stub}}{{Kiribati-stub}}2. ^"Kiribati president returned at general election, likely will form new government", Associated Press (International Herald Tribune), 23 August 2007. 3. ^"Nominations prompt call for Kiribati poll boycott", ABC Radio Australia, 21 September 2007. 4. ^1 "Tong re-elected Kiribati president", ABC Radio Australia, 18 October 2007. 3 : Presidential elections in Kiribati|2007 elections in Oceania|2007 in Kiribati |
