Election fever

BY BARNABAS MANEBONA

ELECTION fever is reported rising in Choiseul province as its citizens are preparing for the provincial government election next month.

Meanwhile amongst many, former Premier of Choiseul province Mr Clement Kengava urges Lauru citizens to seriously make good choices when voting for their MPA leaders.

Recently he said the confirmation by the Permanent Secretary (PS) of the Ministry of Provincial Government and Institutional Strengthening (MPGIS) at the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that Choiseul and Western provinces provincial elections are to be held in June 2018 has been a relief for voters of the province.

This is after their rights to choose new assemblies in September last year was suppressed through deferments.

“I call on Choiseul voters to not take the provincial election lightly or treat it as a game, be serious about it because Choiseul needs a new roadmap in its relationship with the National Government,” said Kengava.

The former MP of Northwest Choiseul and also former Premier is encouraging people who believe in developing Choiseul Province to go ahead to another level in contesting for the province’s 16 seats ( Provincial Assembly).
