Solomons parliament to dissolve in September

7:21 am on 18 January 2014

The Clerk of parliament in the Solomon Islands has announced the national parliament will dissolve on September the 8th.

Taeasi Sanga says this will pave the way for the 2014 general elections to be held within the four months after the dissolution of parliament.

Ms Sanga says the dissolution falls in line with the first sitting of the current parliament on September the 8th, 2010.

She says it is the governor general's prerogative to proclaim the date of the parliamentary elections.

The current parliament is expected to hold one or two more meetings before it is dissolved.
