Presidential elections were held in Kiribati on 17 October 2007, [1] following the 2007 parliamentary election.

[2] At the first parliamentary session, [1] four candidates were chosen to appear on the ballot: Anote Tong, Patrick Tatireta, Timon Aneri, and Nabuti Mwemwenikarawa. Opposition nominees Harry Tong (Anote Tong's brother) and Tetaua Taitai were excluded from the ballot, [3] upon which the opposition called for a boycott of the election. [4]
