But Sir Michael Somare, the man who was last week ordered to be restored to government by the Supreme Court, remains defiant, saying O’Neill’s overwhelming numbers in parliament do not matter.
Governor-General Sir Michael Ogio sent a letter to parliament on Monday apologizing for signing in the ministry of Somare on Wednesday morning, citing bad legal advice that led him to the decision.
“Any decision to swear in the Somare government in law is wrong and invalid,” the letter said. “The advice I received was wrong. I recognize the election of Peter O’Neill as prime minister.”
But Somare, 75, said: “Numbers in Parliament is irrelevant…. We want a decision to be taken by the Supreme Court.”
