The Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet announces that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Mines, Energy, and Rural Electrification, Bradley Tovosia, has voluntarily tendered his resignation from both positions, effective today.
The decision follows a meeting of the Government for National Unity and Transformation (GNUT) coalition held today in the Cabinet Room. Coalition partners unanimously resolved that the national interest must come first, and Tovosia’s resignation was made in accordance with this collective decision.
Tovosia has expressed his sincere gratitude to his colleagues, supporters, and the people of Solomon Islands for their continued trust and support during his time in Cabinet.

The Government for National Unity and Transformation (GNUT) is a coalition comprising three political parties: OUR Party, Solomon Islands People’s First Party, and Kadere Party.
The GNUT was formed with the goal of uniting different political parties to work together towards the common good of the nation. Each party brings its own unique strengths and perspectives to the coalition, allowing for a more diverse and inclusive approach to governance. By coming together, the GNUT aims to address the various challenges facing the country and implement policies that benefit all citizens.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele, the GNUT stands firm in its commitment to promoting good governance, national unity, and sustainable development for the Solomon Islands.
