GJP president Ralph Regenvanu

Regenvanu cautions media over speculative reporting

Regenvanu said it is a common strategy in times like this for politicians to try and influence elected candidates to join one side or the other with false statements about how blocs are being formed and how many numbers of elected candidates are in such blocs.

The by-election is being held to fill the parliamentary seat made vacant by the death of Vanuatu's former Prime Minister Edward Natapei in July.

The GJP president Ralph Regenvanu said party executives met with Edward Natapei's son, Kenneth, and were pleased with his youthful vision which fits comfortably with the GJP philosophy.

He says the GJP will not register a candidate to oppose Mr Natapei's election, a move in line with the party's close working arrangements with the VP.
