Fourth Term As Prime Minister
- See also: Vohor Cabinet (2011-)
On 24 April 2011 (Easter Sunday), Prime Minister Sato Kilman was narrowly ousted by a parliamentary vote of no confidence, by twenty-six votes to twenty-five. Usually, the opposition, led by Edward Natapei, had not fielded a candidate to succeed him. Parliament thus elected Serge Vohor to the post.
His election was declared invalid on 13 May 2011, as he had been elected only bt a relative majority in Parliament, not an absolute one.
