Reunification Movement for Change

The Reunification Movement for Change (sometimes written as the Reunification of Movements for Change) is a political party in Vanuatu resulting from a split in the Union of Moderate Parties in 2012. At the 2016 election the party won 3.44% of the vote and 3 seats, resulting in its leader Charlot Salwai being appointed Prime Minister.[1] The party was also included in the governing coalitions that emerged from the two following elections, in 2020 and 2022, where it won 7 and 5 seats respectively.[2][3]
