Claim: The pro-independence Tavini Huiraatira party won the 2023 French Polynesian territorial elections, taking 44.32% of the vote in the second round; Moetai Brotherson became President of French Polynesia in May 2023. Historic party leader Oscar Temaru has maintained an overtly sovereigntist, anti-colonial position, while Brotherson has taken a more measured stance toward France and stated that gaining independence was not the subject of the 2023 election.
