Campaigning was marred by diplomatic and economic issues. Tommy Remengesau Jr criticized growing security relations with the United States under Whipps' presidency, which the latter has supported as a "deterrent". Remengesau also pledged to revoke a 15% tax on goods introduced by Whipps.[21]
Preliminary results appeared to show Surangel Whipps Jr. leading in the presidential race,[22] while Raynold Oilouch was leading as vice president.[23]
Taiwanese president Lai Ching-te sent congratulations to Whipps and his vice president, Raynold Oilouch, upon their reelection.[23]
