A presidential election will be held in Kiribati on 13 January 2012 [1], following a parliamentary election.[2] Incumbent President Anote Tong will seek re-election to a third-four year term, ending months of speculation about his decision.[3][4]
The President, who is elected by popular vote from among three or four candidates chosen by legislators from among their number, is limited to three four-year terms under the Constitution of Kiribati. The election, initially scheduled for 30 December 2011, has been delayed to 13 January 2012 in order to allow citizens to travel to celebrate the New Year.
