The party is governed by a management board of over 42 members who will make the final decision. Gavoka says he has no direct say in the decision or negotiations. SODELPA’s negotiating team of six is led by former Parliamentarian Anare Jale. 3/4

Gavoka says they are not rushing the process and has not indicated when the final decision will be made. By law, they have 14 days to do so. The results of their meetings with FFP and PAP/NFP were discussed today and the party has reverted with its counter proposals. 4/4
