Congratulations to the Member of Parliament
(MP) for Gizo/Kolombangara Gordon Darcy Lilo was duly elected as the country`s
new Prime Minister.
The democratic process mandated to our 49 MPs had spoken for itself yesterday. We now have a new leader. The resounding victory is evident with 29 votes in the first round.
While there was mix reaction over the result, our MPs have displayed their wisdom by casting their vote for the new PM.
The election of Mr Lilo means MV NCRA has been refloated with a new captain leading the boat for the next three years.
During his maiden speech as the Prime Minister elect Mr Lilo said he will work hard with his crew to develop and bring changes according to NCRA`s policy.
He dedicated his victory to young generation saying it is new era for the youths of this country.
As an open and transparent government, Mr Lilo invites the civil society group, non-governmental organizations and associations to work closely with them.
Following the official announcement by the Governor General Sir Frank Kabui, there were message of congratulations being received from various leaders in the country and outside.
There are many who have favoured this government because they have seen the importance of this government’s policy.
This policy targets the rural areas with a lot of developments geared towards the provinces as part of decentralizing development in this country.
The Prime Minister during his time as the former finance minister under NCRA is one of the architectures of the policy and he knows what is needed to done and achieved in terms of the plans and objectives under NCRA`s policy.
Many people have supported and applauded the NCRA`s flagship policy and want them to continue to fulfill these dreams and promises.
There is a lot of work to be done and the Prime Minister elect will have to remain busy for the next three years fulfill the government’s promises.
The government under the new leadership can only move forward with the support of the crew.
As the new Prime Minister takes up the leadership role of this country, we will now have to wait and see what changes this captain and his crew will deliver to this nation.
God bless Solomon Islands.
