Bob Loughman Weibur (born 8 March 1961) is a Vanuatuan politician who has been the Prime Minister of Vanuatu from 2020 to 2022. He was first elected to parliament from the island of Tanna in the July 6, 2004 general election. He was re-elected in 2008 and 2012.[1] He is leader of the democratic socialist Vanua'aku Pati party.
In March 2013, following a change of government, the new Prime Minister, Moana Carcassé Calosil, appointed him Minister of Education.[2] Like other members of the Vanuatu party, he began voting against the party line on May 15, 2014, to overthrow the Carcassée government. New Prime Minister Joe Natuman backed Loffman as education minister. He lost his post on June 11, 2015, when the Natuman government was removed due to a no-confidence vote.[3]
In 2018, he became the leader of the Vanuatu party.[4]
He was born on Tanna Island and has been Prime Minister of the Republic of Vanuatu from 20 April 2020 until 4 November 2022.
Before that, he was Deputy Prime Minister, minister of education, tourism, and economy, and also an MP.[5]
