General elections were held in Tuvalu on 2 September 1993.[1] As there were no political parties, all candidates for the 12 seats ran as independents. Prime Minister Bikenibeu Paeniu was re-elected, along with all members of his cabinet, except Naama Latasi.[2] However, supporters of Paeniu held six seats while supporters of the previous Prime Minister Tomasi Puapua (Otinielu Tausi, Koloa Talake, Faimalaga Luka, Vave Founuku and Vavae Katalake) held the other six.[2]
In order to break the impasse, the Governor-General dissolved Parliament on 22 September and fresh elections were held in November.[3]
