General elections were held in Niue on 19 March 1999 to determine the composition of the twenty member national Assembly.[1] Fourteen incumbents retained their seats, with Premier Frank Lui a notable exception.[2][3] Following the election, the Niue People's Party was able to form a government, and its leader Sani Lakatani was elected premier, defeating O'Love Jacobsen 14–6. Former Assembly member Tama Posimani was elected Speaker by an identical margin.[3]
