		Temaru’s Union for Democracy alliance refused to recognise the installation of longtime Chirac ally Gaston Flosse as president and has held a series of protests to demand fresh elections throughout the French territory to settle the issue.

		Temaru claimed Flosse was primarily motivated by fears that a proposed financial audit would uncover “certain things that can end up with legal penalties” and implicate the previous government.

		Temaru promised that his government’s aims would be “reunification” and, in view of territory’s current economic situation, voters “must not return to the ballot boxes before four years”.
		An important factor in Temaru’s victory was a peculiarity of the voting system that provides a 13-seat “bonus” to the party with the highest number of votes.
		The Temaru grouping was initially one vote short of an absolute majority, but managed to recruit a THP member, giving it 29 seats and a 2-seat margin—for now.
