Jailed mayor among To Tatou Ai'a election winners
Updated
There have been a few surprises in results from the second round of local elections in French Polynesia. President Gaston Flosse's party, the pro-autonomy group Tahoera'a Hueraatira has lost its stronghold over the township of Pirae to the To Tatou Ai'a candidate. To Tatou Ai'a did well in other parts of French Polynesia, winning several large townships. One of them is Mahina, where the mayor, Emile Vernaudon, was re-elected, despite being in jail.
Presenter: Sandrine Ducrot
