Aftermath
Following the elections, the newly elected Congress met for the first time on 10 May. Bethwel Henry was elected Speaker. Members of Congress subsequently elected Tosiwo Nakayama as the first President of Micronesia, with Petrus Tun elected vice-president. This led to both vacating their seats in Congress. In the subsequent by-elections on 13 June, Koichi Sana was elected to the four-year seat in Truk and John Haglelgam (a write-in candidate) was elected in the four-year seat in Yap.[3]
