HONIARAWest Honiara: Counting continues at the Rove Police station for West Honiara with a very strong police presence. It looks likely that the outcome will be between outgoing MP Isaac Inoke and Honiara Businessman Namson Tran. Six out of the twenty four ballot boxes have just been completed.
East Honiara: Four polling stations counted so far with a reportedly low turnout. Results are still too close to call. Officials are taking a short break.
Central Honiara: Counting still continuing.
GUADALCANAL PROVINCE
North West Guadalcanal constituency: Honiara Businessman Bobo Detke is leading the count for the North West Guadalcanal constituency with seven polling stations being counted so far.

Five more polling stations are left and there appears to be an improvement in voter turnout as counting continues.
