The Marshall Islands looks set to have a coalition government for the first time in its history.The elections widely described as "shambolic" for being poorly organised have not been able to deliver a clear winner. A 17 seat majority is required to form government. At the moment the opposition seems to have the numbers with15 seats to the opposition's 14, but still not enough for the opposition to form goverment in its own right. The balance of power seems to be in the hands of the independents and fence sitters in the major parties.
