Manele used his first speech as leader to promise to govern with integrity and to put his nation’s interests first. The withdrawal of pro-Beijing former Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare from the contest to make way for Manele as their party’s candidate is an indication the country could follow a similar direction.
