Dantes Ingin Tsitsi (born 28 September 1959) is a Nauruan politician.
Tsitsi was born on 28 September 1959, registered to the Aiwo District. He is a member of the Eamwit tribe.[1]
Tsitsi was elected to Parliament in the 2007 general elections, gaining the seat of Godfrey Thoma and representing the constituency of Aiwo. He was re-elected in the 2008 snap elections, and then in the April 2010 election, but lost his seat in the June 2010 election, where he was the only incumbent to be defeated.[2]
