Vohor leadsnew govtBy Ricky BinihiSpeakerof parliament maxime Carlot korman

and 26 Opposition Members o Parliament elected

Union o Moderate Parties President, Mr Rialuth

Serge Vohor as Prime Minister on Easter Sunday.

Former Prime Minister Sato Kilman and mem-

bers o his cabinet including government back-

benchers boycotted Parliament during the second

hal o the morning session and Speaker Korman

with the remaining MPs proceeded with the elec-

tion o the PM.

Parliament went ahead ater a weekend o politi-

cal drama that saw on Saturday the Supreme Court

hearing a case led by Former Minister o Land.

Former Minister o Lands, Mr Alred Carlot on

Saturday claimed he did not sign the motion as

claimed by Opposition Leader Edward Natapei.

But the Supreme Court which deliberated until

2am Sunday decided the motion o no condence

in Prime Minister Kilman was in order.

Kilman was deposed in the foors o Parliamentjust like he toppled Natapei last December.

The 27 MPs present in Parliament elected

56-year-old Mr Vohor as Vanuatus Prime Minister.

It is not the rst time the Santo leader has been

elected PM as he had already been Vanuatu PM

three times and this time around it is his ourth

time as Chie Executive o the government.

His critics say PM Vohor has a very slim majority

and he would need the rst days in government to

expand his support base as the government has 26

MPs while the Opposition has 25.

Surprisingly ormer Opposition Leader and

Vanuaaku Pati President Natapei has not been given

a ministerial portolio.

But Natapei said it was time or the young lead-

ers to be given ministries and that he would support

them.
