The Mayor field in the Government box within the Wikipedia article on Faa’a holds, with reference to a dataset published by https://www.data.gouv.fr/ (metadata unconfirmed), that Temaru continues his reign and was re-elected to a 4-year term in 2022.

Relegated its typically French relegation as a backstreet to a an appropriately less prominent position in the story. Also added some edifying linguistic background to indicate the commonality and variance of our names Jacques, Iago, and Jacob(in), even James, that figure in this story.
