Halifax Regional Police release Dartmouth suspect’s name and photo | SaltWire #news #novascotia - Solomon Islands lawmakers will select a new prime minister in a secret ballot on Thursday, choosing between foreign minister Jeremiah Manele and opposition leader Matthew Wale, after a national election failed to deliver a majority to any political party.
Wale, in a 20-seat coalition of four opposition parties, said on Wednesday that lobbying of politicians ahead of the vote was dominated by"people asking for money and positions". "It's not about the future of this country. We are trying to select the leadership, to build numbers for it, by people asking for money and positions. What's in it for themselves?”
Lawmakers gathered in the capital Honiara this week to decide which political camp to support, ahead of the vote in parliament on Thursday at 9:30 a.m.
