On February 21, Vanuatu celebrates Father Walter Lini Day. This public holiday is dedicated to the founding Prime Minister of the Republic of Vanuatu.
Father Walter Hadye Lini was an Anglican priest and politician. In 1970, he founded the New Hebrides National Party that later changed its name to the Vanua’aky Pati (“Our Land Party”). At the time, Vanuatu was a condominium ruled by France and the UK. Lini’s party was mainly backed by English-speakers.
