Patalione Kanimoa is a
French government of the Wallis and Futuna. He was nominated by the French president Jacques Chirac on 18 January 2005.[1]
On 17 April 2016, he was chosen by a rival chief council to be the new king of
'Uvea, even though the island already had a king, Tominiko Halagahu, who was installed the previous day.[2]
After almost two months of dispute, Kanimoa was officially confirmed by the administrator-superior of the French Republic as king on 3 June 2016, and has been reigning over the kingdom ever since.
