Everything about Alfred Maseng totally explained
Alfred Maseng Nalo (died
November 18,
2004) was a politician from
Vanuatu. He served as
foreign minister of Vanuatu from
1995 until
1996. He was also the
president of Vanuatu for two brief periods lasting about a month each, during
1994 and
2004.
Maseng had been
acting president of Vanuatu from
January 30 to
March 2, 1994, while he was
speaker of
parliament and an acting president was needed in the interval between the expiration of a president's term and the next presidential election. In the 2004 presidential elections, Maseng was one of 32 candidates, and a
two-thirds majority in parliament was needed to win. Balloting started on
April 8, but this session and another session on
April 10 failed to result in the required majority for any candidate. In the fourth round of balloting on
April 12, Maseng defeated the government's candidate,
Kalkot Mataskelekele, by a vote of 41 to 16, and was sworn in immediately. He was removed as president on
May 11, 2004, by the
Supreme Court, which ruled that the election was invalid because of a rule banning people with criminal records from being elected. It had been revealed that he was serving a suspended sentence on corruption charges, including receiving stolen money.
He was a member of the
conservative Francophone Union of Moderate Parties. He died at a hospital in northern Vanuatu several months after his removal from the presidency. His age and cause of death have not been reported.
