The country’s elected members of parliament are now signing the Declaration of Loyalty, after a standing protest by members-elect in The Alliance.
The protest stalled the declaration for 30 minutes; the signing started at 12:03pm.
The 106 MPs in the chamber are now signing their declaration forms before Chief Justice Sir Salomo Injia in the Parliament chamber.
The Chief Justice will then chair the nomination of the Speaker of the 10th Parliament before the House proceeds to vote for the country’s Prime Minister.
