It could take up to a week before a new government forms in the Cook Islands after voters went to the polls last week.
Preliminary results show no party has yet secured a clear majority in the 24‑seat parliament.
The balance of power is with two independents and the One Cook Islands party which attained one seat.
Incumbent Prime Minister, Henry Puna has retained his seat.
