| 释义 |
The Arutanga by-election was a by-election in the Cook Islands seat of Arutanga-Reureu-Nikaupara. It took place on 20 November 2003. The by-election was precipitated by the resignation of Cook Islands Party MP Teina Bishop over budget cuts to his constituency.[1] Bishop's resignation was initially handed to the Cook Islands Party, who refused to submit it to the Speaker;[2] Bishop subsequently delivered it himself,[3] and his seat was declared vacant.[4] In the interim, the government announced that it would not stand a candidate.[5][6] As a result, Bishop was elected unopposed.[7] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=5778 |title=Cooks Opposition MP’s resignation could affect balance of power |publisher=Radio New Zealand International |date=2003-07-25 |accessdate=2010-02-07}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=5923 |title=Cook Islands party holds on to MP’s resignation letter |publisher=Radio New Zealand International |date=2003-08-05 |accessdate=2010-02-07}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=6090 |title=Cooks MP delivers resignation to speaker’s office |publisher=Radio New Zealand International |date=2003-08-18 |accessdate=2009-12-20}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=7024 |title=Second by-election to be held this year in the Cook Islands |publisher=Radio New Zealand International |date=2003-10-21 |accessdate=2010-02-07}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=6309 |title=George supports Teina Bishop and says Cooks by-election not needed |publisher=Radio New Zealand International |date=2003-09-01 |accessdate=2010-02-07}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=6330 |title=Cook Islands political group says former MP shouldn’t stand again |publisher=Radio New Zealand International |date=2003-09-02 |accessdate=2010-02-07}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=7308 |title=Teina Bishop returns to Cook Islands Parliament unopposed |publisher=Radio New Zealand International |date=2003-11-05 |accessdate=2009-12-20}} 4 : By-elections in the Cook Islands|2003 elections in Oceania|2003 in the Cook Islands|Aitutaki |
