Fellow South Pacificans,

it is with great regret that the cabinet sees Amerion leave as Prime Minister. 

Under Article 6.1 of the election act, it is the responsibility of the cabinet to appoint a new Prime Minister if less than half the term remains. After some consideration, the cabinet have unanimously come to the conclusion that Seraph (also known as Erinor) should take on the role of Prime Minister, effective immediately, until the conclusion of the term.

Seraph has cabinet experience, and has previously served for three terms as Minister of Regional Affairs; two terms as Delegate and has also served in the Local Council. Seraph has also recently served as Deputy Minister of Regional Affairs, where he has been a member of the Advisory Council. Seraph is also a member of the Council of Regional Security, and is a long standing and influential member of the region. Therefore, the cabinet appoints Seraph as Prime Minister until the conclusion of the term in February 2020.

Signed, 
The Cabinet of the South Pacific
