Edouard Fritch has been re-elected as French Polynesia's president after his party had secured a huge majority in the assembly.

He claims that voters opted for his Tapura Huiraatira party because they want humility, stability and peace.

On his re-election day, the territorial assembly floor was first given to the other two candidates for the top job who each was allowed to speak for an hour.

Walter Zweifel listened in.
