SYDNEY (Reuters) - The president of Vanuatu, Nikenike Vurobaravu, signed an order to dissolve the Pacific island nation's parliament on Monday, Vanuatu broadcaster VBTC reported.
Vurobaravu and Vanuatu's Prime Minister Charlot Salwai had been expected to face separate votes of no confidence in the parliament, after motions were lodged by the political opposition.
Vanuatu has experienced a period of political instability over 18 months, with three prime ministers in that time.
