Political tensions in the country continues as the government insists the Prime Minister remains in office under the Constitution. This comes as the new coalition claim they already have the majority to form the next government. At a press conference yesterday, Prime Minister Hon Jeremiah Manele defended his government, saying it remains in office in accordance with the Constitution. He adds that what the country is witnessing is not a constitutional crisis, but a normal democratic process. However, United Party Wing Leader and opposition member Peter Kenilorea Jr., speaking to the media this afternoon, is urging respect for democratic processes. He stressed that leadership must reflect the will of the majority in Parliament. #SIBC News
