Former president calls for fresh elections
The former president of Kiribati, Anote Tong, yesterday called for fresh elections to the Manaeba Ni Maungatabu, as well as to the presidency. He pointed out that this could be triggered by either party at this moment in time, as the government holds the power to call a snap election, while the opposition holds enough power to call a successful vote of no confidence in the current government.
This statement comes at a time when government has been divided, and the Manaeba gridlocked. Tong stated that the ruling government must have a strong mandate to steer the country through this difficult time, with numerous crises and critical decisions.
