SOLS: Fears close vote for PM could see repeat of 2006
Updated
The Solomon Islands caretaker Finance Minister fears a repeat of 2006 if the vote for Prime Minister this week is close. The MP for West New Georgia Wanawana Peter Boyers says the game is not over yet. If Thursday's vote to elect a new prime minister is by a close margin then he says there could be a repeat of the events of 2006. Sydner Rini was voted in by a slim margin but was tossed out of office shortly after by Manasseh Sogavare. Mr Boyers' own loyalty was questioned in last weeks no confidence vote when he crossed from the opposition to the goverment ranks - even though he is a long time critic of Mr Sogavare's.
