Tallis Obed Moses, a long-serving Pastor and former leader of the Presbyterian Church, has been elected President of the Vanuatu Republic in the southwest Pacific Ocean.
The 63-year-old was sworn in Thursday after winning 39 votes against his opponent, former prime minister Maxim Carlos Korman.
He replaces the former President Baldwin Lonsdale who died suddenly from a heart attack last month while serving in office.
Dan McGarry, the media director of the Vanuatu Daily Post who was at Parliament this morning, said Mr. Moses' reputation as a man of "impeccable moral character" was a decisive factor played a significant role in his being elected to succeed Lonsdale.
The Vanuatu Republic is an archipelago nation with 270,000 population. It's located in the southwest Pacific Ocean, north of New Zealand and east of Australia.

This is awesome!


How I wish Nigeria will reach this level of political maturity one day, where an individual/individuals will be voted into office (political/apolitical offices) based on his/her qualifications, good character etc without any form of connection, offering of bribes and intimidation of other opponents with the aid of law enforcement agencies & touts (political thugs) by the citizens themselves in a free and fair democratically conducted election/elections!


I am hopeful that that day will come in Nigeria!

General Buhari was elected based on his good character. He is a patriot and he planned to rid Nigeria of corruption. Unfortunately he was poisoned and he is now battling an illness .Sad .
