July 2003 Kiribati presidential election
Presidential elections were held in Kiribati on 4 July 2003, the second in six months after previous President Teburoro Tito was removed from office by a motion of no confidence in the Parliament just a month after winning the February elections, and just a day into his new term. The Kiribati Court of Appeal ruled that the single day in office constituted a third term, barring him from standing in further elections in accordance with the constitution.
