United Coalition Party (Gilbertese: Karikirakean Te I-Kiribati, KTK) was a political party in Kiribati.
History[edit]
The party was established in August 2010 as a merger of the Kiribati Independent Party and Protect the Maneaba.[1] The new party held 12 seats, making it the largest opposition faction, resulting in its leader Rimeta Beniamina being appointed Leader of the Opposition.[1] However, she later defected to the Maurin Kiribati Party (MKP).[1]
In the 2011 parliamentary elections it won ten seats, and was able to nominate Tetaua Taitai for the 2012 presidential elections. Taitai finished second with 35% of the vote.
In January 2016 it merged with the MKP to form the Tobwaan Kiribati Party.[2]
