Tuvaluan general election, 2006

General elections were held in Tuvalu on 3 August 2006 to elect fifteen members to the Parliament. All fifteen candidates elected were Independents, as there are no political parties in the country.

The election saw eight of the fifteen incumbent MPs defeated, including the entire cabinet of then-Prime Minister Maatia Toafa (who did retain his seat). He was subsequently replaced by Apisai Ielemia.
