Mr Yormewu on Thursday, October 7, was rejected by assembly members after he gathered 21 YES votes out of 41 votes cast representing 51.22%.

He failed to meet two-thirds of the required votes for the position.

The occasion was also characterized by the revocation of eleven government appointees which were later replaced by eleven others.

The results from the first election further gave him the opportunity to be renominated by the President for a second confirmation exercise.

He later admitted and apologized to the Assembly members for numerous mistakes and things that went wrong under his first term.

He pledged to work harmoniously and in unity with all members of the assembly for more developmental works for the district.
