Presidential elections were held in Kiribati on 17 October 2007,[1] following the 2007 parliamentary election. President Anote Tong, who was re-elected to parliament in the first round of the parliamentary election, sought another term as president.[2] At the first parliamentary session,[1] four candidates were chosen to appear on the ballot: Anote Tong, Patrick Tatireta, Timon Aneri, and Nabuti Mwemwenikarawa. Opposition nominees Harry Tong (Anote Tong's brother) and Tetaua Taitai were excluded from the ballot,[3] upon which the opposition called for a boycott of the election.[4]
