The vice president of the Government of New Caledonia (French: Vice-Président du gouvernement de la Nouvelle-Calédonie) is a political position in the Government of New Caledonia formed in 1999,[1] after the Nouméa Accord was signed in 1998.
New Caledonia has a collegial government with 11 members elected by Congress of New Caledonia with proportional representation on party list voting, according to the rule of the highest average.[2] Then, according to the Nouméa Accord, the 11 members elect President and Vice President among themselves.[3]
According to the Nouméa Accord, the vice president in the collegial government system needs to come from a pro-independence party if the president comes from an anti-independence party and the other way round whenever the president comes from a pro-independence party.[4] Even if the position of vice president is not filled, the government is deemed to be fully operational seven days after all government members are elected.[5]
