The Acting Speaker of Parliament, Koni Iguana, has announced that he has received a Vote of No Confidence (VONC) motion from the Opposition this afternoon at 1:45pm, setting now into motion the process of a VONC against Prime Minister James Marape.
He said as part of the process, tomorrow the Private Business Committee will go through the motion to ensure that the motion meets all requirements as per the constitution.
What the Committee will be looking at in the VONC motion is the name of who will be the alternate prime minister, if the motion is second and if the motion has the required number of signatures from Opposition Members.
If the committee is satisfied, the process will move to the motion being listed on a notice paper and then proceed on to the actual VONC, which should take place after a week as per the standing procedures.
