- ^ a b c Kilman was elected by Parliament in December 2010, then ousted in a vote of no confidence in April 2011, and succeeded by Vohor. In May, the Court of Appeal annulled Vohor's election on the grounds of a constitutional irregularity, and reinstated Kilman. In June, Kilman's premiership was itself voided, by the Supreme Court, due to a constitutional irregularity in his initial election in December. Natapei, the most recent lawfully elected Prime Minister (in 2008), then served briefly as interim Prime Minister, until Parliament elected Kilman again later that month. Legally, Kilman and Vohor's terms in office between December 2010 and early June 2011 have been declared null and void, as it was retroactively established that they were not lawfully holding office during that time.
