The move came after the cabinet's guardian refused to gather parliament Monday to allow the transition of state, keeping the prime minister and her supporters outside the parliament building.

In an unprecedented move, Prime Minister-elect Fiame Naomi Mata-afa swore on the task the people assigned to a tent outside parliament, with her party later announcing the news on social networks, writes Guardian, past Periscope.

The Samosa Parliament is expected to convene on Monday, more than a month after the elections, which have been met with many legal challenges, with calls for new elections and constitutional intensive maneuvers.

For the first time, the ruling party that had held power for 39 years lost those elections.

25 MPs took the ruling party, 25 and the opposition party, but an independent MP gave support to the opposition, and that ended the race.

But then the ruling party had declared that the gender quota of 10 percent had not been met and added another MP, this time a woman, bringing her number of deputies to 26. Last week such an act by the Constitutional Court was considered unfair. /Periscope
