Charlot Salwai Tabimasmas, the newly elected Prime Minister of Vanuatu. Mr Salwai is the 3rd MP from Pentecost island to occupy the position of Prime Minister of Vanuatu after the founding father of the nation, Father Walter Lini who ruled from 1980 to 1991, followed by Ham Lini.
24 hours before the Parliament sitting on Thursday February 11th 2016, reliable sources within the two main political groups known as the “Nationalists” and the “Moderates” admitted that the political negotiations and battle of numbers was very tough as each political grouping was endeavoring to secure the best deal for its political formation.
With the offer made by the nationalists, Mr Salwai managed to get the support of a few other MPs and thus to put him in a position which enabled him to seal the deal with the “nationalists” once and for all.
