Emmanuel Tjibaou (French pronunciation: [emanɥɛl tʃibau]) is a French politician of the Caledonian Union who was elected member of the National Assembly for New Caledonia's 2nd constituency in 2024.[1][2] He is the son of Jean-Marie and Marie-Claude Tjibaou.[3]
Tjibaou became the first pro-independence New Caledonian candidate to win a seat since 1986, with his victory being linked to the aftermath of the civil unrest across the archipelago earlier in 2024.[4]
