A motion of no confidence was passed against the government during a special sitting of Parliament which ended a short while ago.
Eight members of parliament, including former Prime Minister Sarah Westcot-Williams who serves as the current Speaker, voted for the motion. Six MPs voted against.
Prime Minister William Marlin said on Wednesday that the Democratic Party was in discussions with other political parties months ago because the DP was hell-bent on breaking the government through ship jumping.
Marlin said he was accused and blamed for almost everything under the sun and while he took the heat in times of crisis. He said the same politicians who condemned ship jumping a year ago are the ones encouraging it now.
Marlin said that every politician, MPs, and Ministers took an oath defend the country, thus he sent a message to all leaders of the political parties in parliament namely UP leader Theodore Heyliger, USP leader Frans Richardson, and DP leader Sarah Wescot Williams informing them that in the interest of the country they should all begin discussions on forming a national government.
