2007 Titikaveka by-election

Election in the Cook Islands The Titikaveka by-election was a by-election in the Cook Islands seat of Titikaveka. It took place on 7 February 2007. At the 2006 election, Robert Wigmore won the seat of Titikaveka by a significant margin. However, his election was subsequently challenged in an electoral petition on the grounds that as a board member of the Cook Islands Investment Corporation Wigmore was technically a public servant and thus ineligible to sit. The petition was successful and a by-election was called.http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=29353 Cook Islands to hold second by-election following September general election Radio New Zealand International 2007-01-08 2010-01-04 The poll was won by the Democratic Party's Robert Wigmore.http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=30023 Tomorrow set down for final count from Cook Islands by-election Radio New Zealand International 2007-02-08 2010-01-04 Turnout was significantly reduced from the general election.
