The Solomon Islands Electoral Commission is deploying police to polling stations during two parliamentary by-elections in Malaita Province on Thursday. The by-elections in the Aoke-Langalanga and East Malaita constituencies follow the deaths of the sitting members last year. They were Bartholomew Ulufa'alu a former prime minister; and Joses Sanga, a former government minister. The Director of the Solomon Islands Electoral Commission, Musu Kevu says the two women are mounting a good challenge against their male opponents.
