The motion was submitted by nine members of the Democratic Party founded by the late Prime Minister Akilisi Pohiva, plus a member of the current government who crossed the floor to join the opposition. The motion detailed several allegations at Mr Tu i onetoa, mostly around government spending. Our correspondent said key to determining the result of the vote of no confidence motion were the noble members of Parliament as well as independent members. The People s Party which is in government defeated the motion as all the present members of Parliament voted for the status quo.

Fa otusia is one of 10 people who signed a letter calling for a motion against the prime minister. That letter, tabled last week, outlines seven allegations against Tu i onetoa, mostly around government spending. If a vote is held when the 26 seat parliament next sits on 12 January, supporters of the move may only need the support of 13 MPs with at least one representative overseas and unable to vote. One of the nine Noble MPs in the House said last week s motion was historic and unique.
