Al Jazeera · Qatar · New Caledonia provincial elections produce deadlock; Éveil Océanien holds kingmaker role
Reported that New Caledonia voted in provincial elections on June 28, the first such vote since the deadly 2024 unrest triggered by France's now-abandoned electoral reform. Noted that neither loyalists nor independence supporters were expected to win an outright majority in the 54-seat Congress, and that the small centrist Kanak party Éveil Océanien was likely to hold a kingmaker role.
