Nui by-election, 2011

A by-election was held in the Nui constituency in Tuvalu on 24 August 2011.

Although there are no political parties in Tuvalu, Members of Parliament align themselves with the government or with the Opposition, and Italeli's death had resulted in Prime Minister Willy Telavi's government losing its one-seat majority in Parliament. The by-election was thus highly important to the government's survival.
