Results by province

Legislative elections were held in New Caledonia on 10 May 2009.[1][2][3] Voters elected 76 members of the three provincial assemblies,[4] of whom 54 were also to become members of the territorial Congress.[4]

The

Kanak Socialist National Liberation Front (FLNKS), hoped to become the largest party in the elections.[5]

Campaign

The newly elected Congress was to decide how to implement the autonomy provisions of the

Noumea Accord of 1998.[4] Apart from the island's political future, the economy and New Caledonia's high cost of living were the main issue in the election campaign.[4][6]
