SOLOMON Islands Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele has promised to abide by a High Court decision on the future of his government.
Opposition Members of Parliament have filed a judicial review after Manele refused to step down despite losing the confidence of a majority of MPs in recent weeks.
Manele tonight acknowledged the filing of a review as part of the democratic process and the constitutional right of interested parties.
The Opposition claims to have the support of 28 members of the 50-member parliament, but Manele argued that he maintained control of all government services. He has refused to call Parliament to hear a vote of no confidence.
He called on all Solomon Islanders to remain calm and allow the judicial process to proceed without interference.
Public confidence in the justice system must be upheld, and all parties are urged to act responsibly and in the national interest,” Manele said.
