The French Polynesian assembly is set to approve a motion of no
confidence which will oust the seven-week old government of Gaston
Flosse.
The session opened a short time ago with 29 opposition members present
which is enough to pass the motion that will install Gaston Tong Sang
as the next president.
The government side is boycotting the sitting after losing two
members, Michel Yip and Justine Teura, to the To Tatou Aia opposotion
coalition.
The opposition accused Mr Flosse of public perjury for siding with the
Union For Democracy after the early general election in February.
If the government falls as expected it will be the second time Mr Tong
Sang has won the presidency.
