Kete Ioane (30 October 1950 – 13 February 2015) was a Cook Islands politician.
He was a Cook Islands Democratic Party Member of Parliament from 1999 to 2010 and served as a cabinet minister between 2006 and 2009.
His appointment later became the subject of an electoral petition, as rival Cook Islands Party candidate George Pitt claimed it had been made solely to provide Ioane with extra campaign funds.
[2] The petition was ultimately rejected, but Prime Minister Jim Marurai was criticised by the Chief Justice over the appointment.
He was selected as the Democratic Party's candidate for the 2015 by-election in the Vaipae-Tautu constituency, but died in Auckland on 13 February, just four days before the election.
