The Conseil d’Etat, France’s Supreme Court for administrative justice, dismissed Tamara Bopp Dupont’s court challenge.
DuPont of Moorea claimed that Tong Sang used means of pressure and corruption against two “assembly representatives who voted for the no confidence motion,” the communiqué stated.
The two representatives were Michel Yip and Justine Teura, who left the UPLD, or Union for Democracy, coalition to join the To Tatou Ai’a coalition to give Tong Sang the votes to topple the government of Gaston Flosse on April 15.
“The Conseil d’Etat considers that Ms. Tamara Bopp Dupont offers no new evidence to support her arguments and that no pressure or maneuver has altered the honesty of the voting,” the presidential communiqué said.
