The second round of the French national snap elections are now done and for New Caledonia, one of the two seats is now held by a pro-independence candidate, signaling a potential setback for the pro-French (loyalists) camp.
Meanwhile in French Polynesia, the pro-independence party (Tavini Huiraatira) has lost in two of the three constituencies.
RNZ Pacific Editor Koroi Hawkins spoke with Patrick Decloitre on our French Pacific desk about the results.
