Pillars of Truth (Boutokaan Te Koaua) is a political party in Kiribati.[1]
The party was created through a split in the National Progressive Party, which was the first party to rule after Independence in 1979.
In the 2003 presidential elections, its candidate Anote Tong won 47.4% and was elected president. In the legislative elections of two months earlier, the party won 16 of 41 elected seats.
In the 22 August and 30 August 2007 House of Assembly of Kiribati elections, the party won 18 seats. On 17 October 2007, Anote Tong was re-elected as president by a large majority. The opposition boycotted the election due to the exclusion of two opposition candidates, including Tong's brother Harry.[2] In 2016, Taneti Mamau of Tobwaan Kiribati Party took his place as president.
