July 2003 Kiribati Presidential Election

Presidential elections were held in Kiribati on 4 July 2003, the second in six months after previous President Teburoro Tito was removed from office by a motion of no confidence in the Parliament just a month after winning the February elections,^[1] and just a day into his new term.^[2] The Kiribati Court of Appeal ruled that the single day in office constituted a third term, barring him from standing in further elections in accordance with the constitution.^[2]

The result was a victory for Anote Tong, who defeated his brother Harry Tong by just under 4%.^[3]
