The appointment of a new Foreign Affairs Minister is being deliberated upon, and some members of parliament have expressed their preference for the Honorable Elias Kapovore to be selected for the role. Kapovore previously served as Health Minister under the Oneil/Basil government and is currently in his second term as an MP.

Some have stated several reasons why Honorable Elias Kapovore should be appointed as the new Foreign Affairs Minister.

• Honorable Elias Kapovore previously served as Health Minister under the Oneil/Basil government.
• Kapovore is currently in his second term as an MP.
• He has a strong track record of work from his previous government role.
• Kapovore made the decision to cross over from the opposition as a PNC member to join the Pangu Party, which boosted the party's membership.
• Members of parliament are urging the Marabe/Rosso government to appoint Kapovore as Foreign Affairs Minister in light of the recent passing of former Prime Minister Sir Rabbie Namaliu, as a token of appreciation and remembrance of his legacy.
