Patalione Kanimoa was the President of the Territorial Assembly in the French government of the Wallis and Futuna dependency in the South Pacific. He was nominated by the French president Jacques Chirac on 18 January 2005.[1]
On 17 April 2016 he was chosen by a rival chief council to be the new king of Uvea, even though the island had already a king, Tominiko Halagahu, who was installed the previous day.[2] After almost two months of dispute, Kanioma was officially confirmed by the administrator-superior of French Republic as king on 3 June 2016, and is reigning over the Kingdom ever since.
