The Labour Party, which had been founded in 2007 as the political arm of the pro-independence Union of Kanaky Workers and the Exploited, contested the elections for the first time and hoped to gain 12,000 votes and a seat. Due to splits in the two main parties of the anti-independence front, the Rally–UMP and Future Together (from which Caledonia Together split off in October 2008), the main pro-independence party, the Kanak Socialist National Liberation Front (FLNKS), hoped to become the largest party in the elections.{{cite news |url=http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=43415 |title=New Caledonia's FLNKS gears up for 2009 polls |date=1 December 2008 |work=Radio New Zealand International |accessdate=30 October 2011}}
