Английская Википедия:1998 Tuvaluan general election
General elections were held in Tuvalu on 26 March 1998.[1] As there were no political parties, all candidates for the 12 seats ran as independents, with seven of the incumbents retaining their seats. Following the election, Bikenibeu Paeniu was re-elected Prime Minister.[2]
Background
On 18 December 1997 the parliament was dissolved and the general election was held on 26 March 1998. During the election campaign, candidates from the incumbent government and the opposition traded allegations of sexual and financial misconduct.
Results
Seven incumbent members were re-elected, including Bikenibeu Paeniu, Otinielu Tausi, Ionatana Ionatana, Tomasi Puapua and Alesana Seluka, and opposition MPs Koloa Talake and Faimalaga Luka.[3] Two members of previous parliaments were elected, including Kokea Malua of Nanumea,[3] while three members were new to parliament; Lagitupu Tuilimu of Nanumea, Teleke Peleti Lauti of Funafuti and Samuelu Teo of Niutao.[3] Former Prime Minister Kamuta Latasi, who represented Funafuti, lost his seat.[3]
