Having considered all available candidates for the position of Deputy Chair of the Assembly, and having also considered all possible factors and merits, the Chair of the Assembly has decided to appoint Omega to the position of Deputy Chair of the Assembly. Omega shall serve as Deputy Chair at the pleasure of the Chair of the Assembly.

In response to possible concerns that the Chair or the Deputy Chair of the Assembly may become a partisan position, given especially the membership of both the Chair and Deputy Chair of the Assembly in The Island League (TIL) and the Alliance for the Preservation of the Coalition (APC) respectively, the Office of the Chair of the Assembly would like to emphasise that the position of the Chair and Deputy Chair of the Assembly shall remain non-partisan and free of undue influence, while also endeavouring to remain as unbiased as is humanly possible, committed to the service of the Assembly and the people of the South Pacific.
