The President of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville governs the island, which is an autonomous entity within Papua New Guinea.
The first President of Bougainville was Joseph Kabui,[1] who was elected in June 2005,[1] following the 2000 peace agreement which ended the Bougainville War. Kabui died of an apparent heart attack on June 7, 2008,[1] and Vice-President John Tabinaman took over as Acting President until a new election was held.[2]
Bougainvilleans elected the next President in December 2008, choosing James Tanis.[3]
