1 Formally enthroned 7 July 1979

Hilarion Tumi Vendégou (4 September 1941 – 11 January 2020) was a French politician, the high chief of the Isle of Pines, in New Caledonia, and the mayor of the commune. He was recognised as grand chef in 1974, but, due to a violent succession dispute with his relative Jean-Marie Vendégou, was not formally enthroned until 7 July 1979.[1] He was also the mayor of the island commune, until 2014.

On 11 January 2020, Vendégou died at the age of 78.[2]
