“Government ministries and agencies remain fully functional. We are continuing with our mandate and remain focused on delivering essential services and programs for our people,” the Prime Minister stated.

The Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet further reminds all Solomon Islanders that unity, peace, and respect for the rule of law are essential to maintaining a stable democracy—particularly during times of political uncertainty.

“We are a strong democracy. Let us trust the process, stay informed, and support one another in peace and solidarity,” the Prime Minister said.

In his address in parliament this morning Prime Minister Manele appealed to all citizens of Solomon Islands—particularly residents of Honiara—to remain calm, peaceful, and respectful of the democratic process amid the current political developments in Parliament.

“We all know the current political situation. I would like to appeal to the good people of Solomon Islands, including Honiara, to remain calm and respect the democratic process.”

The Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet would like to further clarify that the motion of no confidence—scheduled for debate on Tuesday, 6 May 2025—is a constitutionally recognised and routine part of the parliamentary system.

“Such motions are not unusual in parliamentary democracies. Our institutions are in place to manage this process within the bounds of law and order,” the Prime Minister said.
