French Polynesia president offers to resign
Updated
The president of the French Polynesian assembly, Oscar Temaru, has offered to resign after the Opposition successfully ousted the government in a no-confidence vote this week.
But he says his supporters have urged him to stay on after he was elected in February, when his predecessor, Edouard Fritch, resigned two days into a five-year term.
Mr Temaru's Union For Democracy formed an alliance in the assembly with the Tahoeraa party Party of Gaston Flosse.
He has five days to form a 15-member government to replace the Flosse administration.
