The Opposition has lodged it's second Vote of No Confidence (VONC), summiting the motion this morning to the office of the Speaker of Parliament at 9:40 am. In that submission paper, the Opposition listed Enga Governor Sir Peter Ipatas as the Opposition's choice for alternative prime minister. Governor Sir Peter Ipatas in an official later from his office dated today, Wednesday 27th November 2024, acknowledged his nomination by the Opposition and confirmed his voluntary acceptance. "I take this nomination with the greatest honour and I thank the leaders for proposing and supporting me in this regard for the national interest," Sir Ipatas stated. Meantime, the VONC submission is now before parliament and would normally take one week to through the constitutional process of verification if all requirements are met before it can be actually moved on the floor of parliament, just like in the previous VONC motion some months back.
