Porinetia Ora ("Long live Polynesia!") was an autonomist political party in French Polynesia. The party was created on 1 December 2004 by former Tahoera'a Huiraatira Minister Reynald Temarii.[1] He was replaced as party president in 2006 by Teiva Manutahi.[2]
In 2005 the party opposed a proposal from French Polynesian President Oscar Temaru for a Pacific passport allowing free movement of people within the South Pacific.[3] In May 2007 it proposed the creation of a customary senate.[4] It opposed the re-listing of French Polynesia on the United Nations list of non-self-governing territories.[5]
The party contested the 2005 by-election which resulted from the nullification of part of the results of the 2004 French Polynesian legislative election, but won no seats in the Assembly of French Polynesia.[2] In the 2007 French legislative election it ran two candidates, Orama Manutahi and Teiva Manutahi.[6]
In the 2013 elections the party won 5.7% of the vote in the first round.[7] It subsequently endorsed the Tahoera'a in the second round.[8][9]
The party was officially deregistered in January 2015 for failing to submit its annual accounts.[10][11]
