WHO will be the country’s new Prime Minister in the 10th Parliament is the hottest topic on popular social media website Facebook (FB) at the moment.

Forum Solomon Islands International (FSII) has also posted various questions and recommendations, seeking to know who the people would want to be Solomon Islands Prime Minister when the next government is formed.
Some of the MP’s elect whose names have been up as people’s choices for the Prime Minister’s post include; Manasseh Sogavare (East Choiseul), Danny Philip (South New Georgia/Rendova Tetepare), Rick Houenipwela (Small Malaita), Jeremiah Manele (Hograno/Kia/Havulei), Milner Tozaka (North Vella La Vella), Manasseh Maelanga (East Malaita) and John Moffat Fugui (Central Honiara).
Solomon Islands has yet to elect its Prime Minister, however that process is expected to take two to three weeks, as with the majority number of Independent Members elected to Parliament, a coalition government is again expected to hold power.
The Solomon Star meanwhile understands that intense lobbying has already begun and expected to intensify in the coming weeks.
