How is the president of French Polynesia chosen?

The president of French Polynesia is chosen by the French Polynesia Assembly, which is the country's unicameral legislature. The members of this assembly elect the president from among themselves.1

It is important to clarify that the president of French Polynesia is the head of government, not the head of state. The head of state is the president of France, who is represented in the territory by a high commissioner appointed by the French government.1
