Malaita provincial election results finalised

At last, all the Malaita provincial election results have been finalised. Just this afternoon, Returning Officer Johnson Houma has finally confirmed the results for wards 8 and Ward 9 to end the waiting for the delayed 25 remaining wards on Malaita, which went to the polls on Monday. Other wards in the province have held their elections on December 5 and 18, 2006. The two time postphonement of the remaining 25 wards was attributed to lack of funds and untimely distribution of ballot boxes to respective polling centres.

The confirmed full provincial assembly house that is expected to manage the provincial affairs over the next term is outlined below:
