Background

A governing coalition made up of independents and Democrats has governed the Northern Mariana Islands since 2023. In the 2024 general election, Republicans won the open US delegate seat while independents not aligned with the Palacios administration made modest gains in the legislature. [2] The Republican National Committee announced Palacios rejoined the Republican Party after the 2024 elections. Palacios' return received a lukewarm to hostile reception from local Republicans. [3] [4] Governor Arnold Palacios died on July 23, 2025, and was succeeded by lieutenant governor David M. Apatang. [1]
