PEOPLES Power Action Party president, Robert Wales Feratelia says the upcoming election is going to be a great battle between foreign elements and Solomon Islands.
He appeals to every Solomon Islander to vote wisely and not to bargain their future for just a few lousy dollars.
"Be prepared for it. Foreigners will be dishing out money through their political cronies to return to power in order to serve their interests," he said.
"We will have to make a choice either to stand firm and say ‘no’ to their evil traits or allow mammon to exploit our conscience and give away the victory to foreigners."
Mr Feratelia said remember their aim is to win this election again because their mission is yet to be completed.
"Your VOTE is your POWER! You will be casting your ballot papers for your children’s future and that of the future prosperity (or generation)," he said.
Mr Feratelia said after more than three decades of political independence, Solomon Islands still deepen on foreign aid.
"Foreigners cannot develop you; you can develop yourselves.
"It only requires a responsible government to provide you with the opportunities to sustainably harvest your resources and obtain optimum or maximum benefit at the end of the day. If the foreigners can do it – you can do it," he said.
"What’s so hard about it? A PEOPLES POWER –led government or coalition partnership government will provide this long-awaited opportunity when it comes into government."
