Anote Tong (simplified Chinese: 汤安诺; traditional Chinese: 湯安諾; pinyin: tāng ān nuò; born 11 June 1952 in Tabuaeran, Line Islands) is an I-Kiribati politician with Chinese heritage who served as President of Kiribati from 2003 to 2016. He won the election in July 2003 with a slim plurality of votes cast (47.4%) against his older brother, Dr. Harry Tong (43.5%) and the private lawyer Banuera Berina (9.1%). The elections were contested by the opposition, due to allegations of electoral fraud but the High Court of Tarawa had confirmed that there was no fraud. He was re-elected on 17 October 2007 for a second term (64%). In 2012, Tong was reelected for a third term, although with a significantly smaller percentage than in the previous two elections. President Tong is primarily known abroad for his efforts to raise "global awareness on the threat posed by climate change".
