FRENCH POLYNESIA: Political turmoil as government resigns
Updated
French Polynesian politics are again in turmoil. The pro-independence government of Oscar Temaru has resigned just days after the first round of voting in the general election. The major parties are now involved in close lobbying in the leadup to the second round next month. The party of former president Gaston Flosse suffered a major set back in the first round last weekend. His party, Tahoeraa Hiuraatira used to be the country's main pro-autonomy party. The biggest share of votes was won by Gaston Tong Sang and his new pro-autonomy party, To Tatou Ai'a.
