Prime Minister Manele’s coalition predicts victory as Parliament prepares for debate.
The Government for National Unity and Transformation (GNUT) has expressed its confidence in defeating the Motion of No Confidence scheduled for Monday, December 16, 2024.
The motion, tabled by the Member of Parliament for Central Honiara, Gordon Darcy Lilo, is set to be debated in Parliament. GNUT leaders have dismissed the motion as an unnecessary challenge to the stability of the government and have reiterated their support for Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele.
A statement from the GNUT highlighted the coalition’s unified stance: “We stand united behind the Prime Minister.” In recent days, GNUT members have been seen engaging in discussions and consultations aimed at reaffirming their commitment to the coalition’s leadership and policy agenda.
GNUT’s numerical strength in Parliament positions the government to withstand the challenge posed by the opposition. However, the opposition has maintained that the motion is warranted, citing concerns they believe require debate and resolution.
The outcome of the motion could have implications for the government’s stability and the broader political climate. As Parliament prepares for the debate, attention remains focused on the coalition’s ability to maintain its majority and the opposition’s strategy during the proceedings.
