The election is being watched by China, the US and Australia because of the potential impact on regional security. The former prime minister struck a security pact with China - a pact an opposition party wants to scrap.
There was no clear winner in Solomon Islands' election this week - now the two major opposition parties have struck a coalition deal with the aim of taking power. The two parties are vying with former prime minister Manasseh Sogavare's party to form a government. The election is being watched by China, the US and neighbouring Australia because of the potential impact on regional security.
United has previously said it would scrap the China security pact. Rick Houenipwela of the Democratic Alliance Party said the newly formed coalition had not decided which party leader to nominate as the bloc's candidate for prime minister. 'Our group is responding to the cries and wishes of our people to take back Solomon Islands and to bring back confidence in the leadership and the governing of our country,' the coalition said in a statement.
