Timeline

2014

Jean-Marie Léyé Lenelgau (1932 – 9 December 2014) was a Vanuatuan politician and the president of Vanuatu from 2 March 1994 to 2 March 1999.

1999

Jean-Marie Léyé's presidential term expired on 2 March 1999. He was later succeeded by John Bani.

1998

At the end of 1997, Maxime Carlot Korman, now a simple deputy, tabled a censure motion in Parliament in an attempt to dismiss the government of Prime Minister Serge Vohor. President Léyé spoke on November 27 at the request of Serge Vohor and dissolved the Parliament, preventing the vote on the motion. This decision was controversial. Léyé explained himself by saying that the repeated motions of censure in Parliament were a source of political instability, and that he acted in good conscience without his act in any way being dictated by the prime minister. The dissolution of the Parliament was at first invalidated by the judiciary, but the decision of Léyé was later confirmed and restored by the Court of Appeals on 9 January 1998. The early elections caused by this dissolution were lost by Serge Vohor; Donald Kalpokas of Vanua'aku Pati became the new prime minister.

1995

In 1995, he publicly opposed the resumption of French nuclear tests in the Pacific. He called on France's "duty [to] guarantee a healthy environment" in the Pacific. His prime minister, Maxime Carlot Korman, wished to maintain close and friendly relations with France, while himself also opposing nuclear tests.

1994

On 2 March 1994, Léyé was elected President of the Republic, a ceremonial and essentially symbolic role in this parliamentary republic. He was the first francophone to hold this position. On 12 October 1996, he was briefly kidnapped by members of the Vanuatu Mobile Force, the paramilitary national defense service, which was protesting against unpaid funding. He was released the same day. It is the “only coup in the country's history”.

1976

In 1976, the nation of Vanuatu was the Franco-British New Hebrides Condominium. Léyé was one of the 2 foundeand the 2 first sident of the Union of New Hebrides Communities (UCNH), an indigenous French-speaking movement formed in response to the National Party, a nationalist movement dominated by anglophones. While the National Party, under the leadership of Walter Lini, advocated for a rapid move of the New Hebrides toward independence, the UCNH advocated a more gradual transfer of power from colonial authorities "in order to prepare this transition under better conditions.” The popularity of the National Party, however, led to the independence of the country (which became Vanuatu) in 1980. The UCNH became the Union of Moderate Parties, the main political opposition force.
