September 1993 Tuvaluan general election

General elections were held in Tuvalu on 2 September 1993. As there were no political parties, all candidates for the twelve seats ran as independents. Prime Minister Bikenibeu Paeniu was re-elected, along with all members of his cabinet, except Naama Latasi. However, supporters of Paeniu held six seats while supporters of the previous Prime Minister Tomasi Puapua held the other six.
In order to break the impasse, the Governor-General dissolved Parliament on 22 September and fresh elections were held in November.
