Vanuatu election winners confident of forming government

Kenneth Natapei, the son of the recently-deceased former Prime Minister Edward Natapei, was elected to one of the town's six seats in snap elections on Friday.

Former Vanuatu MP continues serving people despite dissolution

Kenneth Natapei was elected as an MP for Port Vila last month in a by-election following the death of his father, Edward Natapei but did not even have a chance to take his oath on the floor of parliament before the dissolution.

Natapei says more than 4,000 people voted him into power and he feels the president's actions have not only wasted taxpayers' money but also robbed him of the opportunity to serve his constituents.
