Copyright AFP\/File DAVID GRAY<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Solomon Islands\u2019 Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele must recall the Pacific Island nation\u2019s parliament to face a vote of no confidence, an appeal court ruled on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The government has been in an impasse since March, when it was hit by mass cabinet resignations and the exit of two coalition partners.<\/p>\n<p>The defections led the opposition to claim the government had lost its majority in parliament.<\/p>\n<p>Manele has since avoided a vote of confidence, which would eject him and his government from power if he loses.<\/p>\n<p>The High Court ruled last month that the prime minister should recall parliament or resign, after he continued to avoid a no confidence motion lodged by the opposition coalition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the appeal court said Manele must take steps before noon on Tuesday to facilitate convening parliament so lawmakers sit by May 7.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe continued failure to take steps to facilitate the convening of parliament is inconsistent with the constitution,\u201d said a copy of the judgement viewed by AFP.<\/p>\n<p>It dismissed Manele\u2019s argument that the High Court had exceeded its powers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe court does not intrude on parliament by ensuring parliament can sit,\u201d the judgement said.<\/p>\n<p>Outside court, Attorney General John Muria told SBM Online he was disappointed \u201cbut the court has spoken\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Manele\u2019s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force deployed officers outside the court and called for calm.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner of Police Ian Vaevaso, sworn in by Manele on Wednesday, had earlier issued a statement saying \u201cpolice are independent of politics\u201d and would not take sides.<\/p>\n<p>A no-confidence motion against Manele was filed in March after 12 cabinet ministers resigned from his government and two parties quit the governing coalition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The new opposition coalition of six political parties says that it commanded 27 seats compared to the government\u2019s 23 seats.<\/p>\n<p>Following the resignations, Manele appointed former leader and staunch Beijing ally Manasseh Sogavare as deputy prime minister, deepening the turmoil.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Solomon Islands are seen as one of China\u2019s closest partners and backers in the South Pacific, and they signed a secretive security pact in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chief Justice Albert Palmer in April ruled the country was at a \u201cconstitutional impasse\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
