Vanuatu's parliament will elect a new prime minister after the Pacific Island nation's court on Monday dismissed an appeal against a decision that would remove Ishmael Kalsakau from the role.
Vanuatu, at the centre of a strategic rivalry between China and Western countries in the region, was plunged into political uncertainty when opposition leader Bob Loughman lodged a no-confidence petition criticising Kalsakau for actions including signing a security pact with Australia after his government won an election last year.
The appeal was dismissed on Monday, a government spokesman said in a statement on social media. Parliament will resume to elect a new prime minister.
