New Caledonia Rejects A Second Independence Referendum

 

ABC News Online: New Caledonia says no to independence for a second time 

Voters in New Caledonia have narrowly rejected independence for a second time in two years, choosing instead to remain with France. 

Provisional results released by the French Government show 53.26 per cent of people voted No in Sunday's independence referendum, while 46.74 per cent cast their ballot for Yes — with approximately 10,000 votes separating the two sides. 

It was a stronger result for the Yes camp than the previous referendum in 2018, where 43.33 per cent of voters supported independence.
