FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lambussie Assembly’s Unprecedented Action Denies Elected Member’s Inauguration

12/02/2024

The Lambussie Assembly’s recent decision to prevent the inauguration of an elected assembly member has sparked widespread concern and calls for transparency in democratic processes.

The elected member, Hon. Peter Temekuu, duly elected by the people of the Koro electoral area, has been denied the opportunity to serve the community due to the assembly’s actions.

This egregious obstruction of democratic norms undermines the fundamental principles of fair representation and the rule of law. Every citizen’s right to participate in the democratic process and have their voice heard must be upheld and protected.

The Lambussie Assembly’s decision not only disenfranchises the electorate but also sets a dangerous precedent that threatens the integrity of our democratic institutions.

Such actions erode public trust and confidence in the fairness and impartiality of our governance structures.

We call upon the Lambussie Assembly to immediately reverse its decision and allow the duly elected assembly member to assume office without further delay. Furthermore, we urge relevant authorities to thoroughly investigate this matter and ensure accountability for any violations of electoral laws or democratic principles.

The public’s attention is drawn to this alarming situation, and we urge all stakeholders to stand together in defense of democracy and the rule of law.
