Former broadcaster Jim Sevesi says public support for Prime Minister Matthew Wale is growing strongly, particularly in Honiara, describing it as a rare political atmosphere in the nation’s capital.
Sevesi said the growing support for the new Prime Minister appears to be one of the first of its kind seen in the country’s political history.
According to him, the support is naturally spreading throughout communities and suburbs around Honiara, where different social groups have been gathering to express their appreciation following the election of the Member of Parliament for Aoke-Langalanga as Prime Minister.
He said many people have openly welcomed the leadership change and are hopeful about the direction of the new coalition government.
Sevesi however acknowledged that the new government only has a short period – only two years to deliver on its promises before the next national election cycle approaches.
Despite this, he said the public has responded positively to Prime Minister Wale’s statement that he does not want to be remembered for “doing nothing” while in office.
Sevesi said the statement carries significant meaning, especially given the many challenges Wale is expected to face as head of the new executive government.
He said expectations from the public are high, with many citizens hoping the new administration will address key national issues and deliver tangible outcomes during its time in office.
