Ngiratkel Etpison (3 May 1925 – 1 August 1997) was a politician from Palau. He was elected the country’s president in the 1988 elections the final elections conducted under a plurality voting system in which he received just 26% of the votes cast defeating opponent Roman Tmetuchl by a margin of 31 votes. The near-tie led elections in Palau to be reformed and after that they were conducted under majority voting with a second round if no candidate received more than half of all votes cast.
