14th Cook Islands Parliament
Script error: No such module "Sidebar". The 14th Cook Islands Parliament was a term of the Parliament of the Cook Islands.[1] Its composition was determined by the 2006 elections, held on September 27, 2006. It was dissolved for the 2010 election on 24 September 2010.[2]
Due to an electoral petition declaring the election of Robert Wigmore invalid, the 14th Parliament initially consisted of only 23 members. A by-election was held for the vacant Titikaveka seat on 7 February 2007, and Wigmore was re-elected.[3]
Due to a large number of electoral petitions and the need for a by-election to resolve the tied seat of Akaoa, the Parliament did not meet for the first time until December 2006.[4]
Of the 24 Members of Parliament, three were women.[5] The Speaker of the 14th Parliament was Mapu Taia.
