Very sad there are people in this world who are NOT spending their Friday evening trying to remotely monitor vote counting in the seat of East Choiseul, what on earth is wrong with you all kindly examine your life choices
Farewell Honiara - it feels slightly like I’m leaving just as the vote count gets interesting but the ABC’s brilliant @_Chrisnrita_ is (as ever) poised to bring you all the latest on the results as they flow in
Latest on Solomon Islands election: Suidani regains his provincial seat, all eyes now on Manasseh Sogavare’s constituency of East Choiseul with a result expected later today or tomorrow abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…

All credit to Solomon Islands Election Commission staff in their dealings with media. Open, transparent, friendly and helpful. Committed to letting us do our jobs. Full access given freely and never grudgingly. Many could learn from them! Tagio Tumas
Global Times on Solomon Islands election, citing “colour revolution” and Chen Hong: not exactly a staggeringly unpredictable combination
Ballots in Honiara, ready be counted
The rather large blue fence which was put up around the Chinese Embassy ahead of elections today. (Incidentally, Chinese police liaison teams haven’t been providing security today during the election- RSIPF directive says they will “not undertake any operational deployment”)

Honiara election scenes. Pics by the excellent Adam Kennedy
Latest gossint: - Sogavare *is* facing a stiff challenge in East Choisuel (SDA/Methodist dynamic interesting) but should still hold? - GDL reportedly looking good in Central Honiara - Very mixed predictions re strength of OUR Party vote. Maybe pulling back some ground in Malaita?

Voters head to the polls across Solomon Islands. So what’s going to happen today, and over the coming weeks? How long until a new government forms? What are the chances of Sogavare being re-elected? Known knowns, known unknowns, unknown unknowns abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…
Have gleaned following in Honiara: - Sogavare absolutely going to win East Choiseul again - Sogavare almost certain to lose East Choiseul - GDL to win Honiara Central - GDL to lose Honiara Central - OUR to snaffle 23+ seats - OUR lucky to get 14 seats - Manele through the middle?

It seems UnAustralian that we can't bet on the outcome of the SI elections. Surely a same-day multi with tonight's Manly & Parra game isn't beyond our main industry? FWIW 3-1 GDL 5-1 MS 5-1 Wale 10-1 PK Jr 20-1 Rick Hou 50-1 Manele 80-1 Tovosia 250-1 Namson 500-1 @tarcisius_tara
Good piece, with a rather charming disclaimer: "If I were a gambling person, I’d bet (Sogavare) returns as prime minister after this year’s election. I’m not a gambling person though... so instead I’m going to offer the tentative conclusion that the odds look to be in his favour"
Thoughtful reply from @sudhirtv to a post written by Singapore's home minister, responding to a recent article in the @TheEconomist on Singapore and its transition of power.
#Singapore: Home Affairs and Law Minister K. Shanmugam has penned a rejoinder (counter-shade?) to "shade" from the Economist's Banyan column. "The Economist can't resist sneering at us."
@terencewoodnz @stephendziedzic @kazukuru @WasukaEvan No worries. Thanks for doing this!
Solomons elections: I'm off hiking. Here's where I'm at: 36 electorates with official or unofficial results and incumbent return rate is 50%, 11 OUR candidates have won (many losses). 2 new women in. Rumor is Freda Tuki out. Thanks to @JDNomisasa for advice. @stephendziedzic
Gordon Darcy LILO has been elected in a landslide in Central Honiara. A swag of OUR Party incumbents, including many ministers, have lost their seats to brand new independents. Interesting times ahead.
Breaking - SIBC reporting that Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare has retained his seat of East Choiseul, despite a spirited challenge by David Qurusu
Solomons elections: These are the results so far, by electorate, winner's name, and party, and whether whether winner was incumbent (1) or not (0). Note that Aoke Langa Langa and Baegu Asifola not yet official results. (1/3) @stephendziedzic @kazukuru @WasukaEvan
@stephendziedzic Well, you're not a betting man so perhaps there is an outside chance of your punt being wrong. I will await your update tomorrow with bated breath.
@stephendziedzic I’m surprised you’re not covering Indian elections!
@stephendziedzic If you were a betting man, Stephen, which I know you aren't, what would be the odds of the incumbent being toppled?
@stephendziedzic It would be an inefficient division of labour if we all were monitoring the voting in the SI elections… so I will have a wine and some dessert…
@stephendziedzic Interesting. Long night ahead. I think the West New Georgia seat is about to be announced.

We’re kicking off our election coverage from the southern state of Tamil Nadu. It’s where PM Modi has made 10 trips since the start of the year.
Today marks the beginning of the world's largest democratic exercise as India's general elections begin. India's PM has set himself an ambitious goal, but to achieve it, he'll have to win over a dubious crowd. Analysis by @meghnabali abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…
