First female President Hilda Hine elected in the Marshall Islands
She secured 24 – 09 votes in the 33-member legislature.
Her election comes a day after a no confidence motion removed Casten Nemra, who had been sworn in last week.
Heine has been the education minister and is the founder of Women United Together Marshall Islands.
The Marshall Islands had a general election in November, which saw a series of veteran politicians lose office.
