General elections were held in Tuvalu on 26 January 2024.[1][2] There are no political parties in Tuvalu and all candidates run as independents.
Two major issues in the election were the Falepili Union treaty, which requiries both Tuvalu and Australia to "mutually agree" Tuvalu's foreign security arrangements in exchange for allowing Tuvaluans displaced by climate change to immigrate to Australia, and the country's diplomatic recognition of Taiwan within the context of great power competition between the United States and China for influence in the region.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
Feleti Teo was appointed as prime minister on 26 February 2024 after having been elected unopposed by the parliament.
