James Tanis (born 1965?〔("Un ancien sécessionniste élu Président de Bougainville" ), Radio Australia, 30 December 2008〕) is a politician in Papua New Guinea who was elected President of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville in 2008 following the death of Joseph Kabui while in office, serving the remainder of the term from 2009 to 2010. He was previously the Vice President of the Bougainville People's Congress.
==Biography==
Tanis was raised in Panam Village in Lamane, on the border of South and Central Bougainville.〔
Tanis' predecessor, John Tabinaman, took over as Acting President after Joseph Kabui died in office of a heart attack in June 2008. This led to a special presidential election in November and December 2008.〔("Funeral for Bougainville leader" ), BBC News, 10 June 2008.〕 There were 14 candidates;〔 Tanis was declared winner with a margin of 13,547 votes over second-runner Sam Akoitai.〔("New Bougainville president promises unity" ), ABC Radio Australia, 29 December 2008〕 The election had a poor voter turnout which was reportedly contributed to by heavily armed road blocks, ongoing local disputes, and complaints by many Bougainvilleans that their names were not on election rolls. Tanis was sworn in on 6 January 2009.
Experts have said that the election of the 43-year-old Tanis "represents a generational change" in Bougainville's political leadership.〔
