An indirect presidential election was held in French Polynesia on Tuesday 24 November 2009, after the opposition, led by Gaston Tong Sang, won a vote of no confidence against the government of incumbent French Polynesia President Oscar Temaru.[1]
The presidential election was the fourth since the 2008 general election. The President is chosen by members of the Assembly of French Polynesia.
In the November election, Gaston Tong Sang became the President of French Polynesia for the third time since December 2006.[1][2] Tong Sang toppled the government of his predecessor, Oscar Temaru, in a 29–24 vote by the Assembly of French Polynesia in favor of the vote of no confidence.[1] As of November 2009, Tong Sang's coalition government will have a fragile one-seat majority in the Assembly.[1]
Tong Sang himself was similarly ousted by Temaru after the threat of a constructive vote of no confidence caused Tong Sang to step down in February 2009. Temaru had been returned to power in the February 2009 presidential election, held just nine months prior to the November election.[3] Tong Sand supports autonomy with France, while Temaru supports independence.
