Political career

Sigrah was the running mate of Jackson, who won the initial Kosrae gubernatorial election held on November 2, 2010, with 1,414 votes, but did not passed the 50% threshold, which necessitated a runoff in January 2011. Jackson won the Kosrae gubernatorial runoff election held on January 2, 2011, with 54.4% of the vote to Nena S. Nena's 45.6%, allowing Sigrah to become lieutenant governor.[2]

Jackson and Sigrah were officially sworn into office on January 11, 2011.[1][2] However, their public inauguration ceremony was held on January 27, 2011.[1] It was also attended by more than 1,000 people and was held at Kosrae High School over the course of two and a half hours.[1]

In the 2018 Kosrae elections, Sigrah was elected Governor of Kosrae.[3] He ran for reelection in 2022 against Tulensa Palik. However, Sigrah lost reelection his bid in the runoff, with Palik winning 59.19% of the vote while Sigrah himself won 40.81%.[4]
