The leader of Vanuatu's opposition, Ham Lini has withdrawn a motion of no confidence against Prime Minister Moana Carcasses due to lack of members of parliament supporting it.
The opposition deposited the motion last week, saying a number of government backbenchers disagreed with the leadership of the prime minister.
The motion was set to be debated in parliament Tuesday afternoon.
However it became clear Tuesday morning that Mr Carcasses had a strong majority in the 52-seat parliament.
The Prime Minister's office says that 36 MPs have confirmed their support for the Carcasses-led coalition government
