Apr 15, 2014

PARAMARIBO, Suriname, CMC – The ruling MegaCombination coalition government has booted out one of its members after accusing it of playing “blackmail politics.”


Leader of Pertjajah Luhur (PL) party, Paul Somohardjo, confirmed that his organization, which had six seats, was no longer a member of the coalition, leaving President Desi Bouterse with just a slender one seat majority in the 51-member National Assembly.


Ministers belonging to the PL party have been asked to vacate their ministerial portfolios.
