Solomon Islands Elections

Solomons voters told to hold leaders to account

Nearly three quarters of sitting MPs were returned to parliament after last week's election and efforts are underway to form a government.

Transparency Solomon Islands is urging voters to be vigilant in holding their newly elected representatives accountable.

The organisation's chief executive, Ruth Liloqula, said people needed to realise they were as equally responsible for the actions of their leaders, as they were for having chosen them.

"This country can only change if all of us make the effort to make that change," Ms Liloqula said.
