The Marshall Islands opposition says it will be using the courts to dispute results from its national election. Voting in the election was completed nearly a month ago. Last week the coalition of opposition parties, said it had won the 17 seats needed in the 33 seat parliament, to form government under the leadership of former speaker Litokwa Tomeing, and his "United People's Party"
The government of President Kessai Note's "United Democratic Party" continues to dispute that figure. It now appears the final result will be decided in the courts.
