Although Nunavut did not become a territory until 1 April 1999 the election was held early to enable the members to assume their duties on that date.
The territory operates on a consensus government system with no political parties; the premier is subsequently chosen by and from the MLAs[clarification needed].
Paul Okalik was chosen to be Premier of Nunavut.[3]
