Incomplete results declared in the New Hebrides elections for the new style Representative Assembly give the New Hebrides National Party 17 seats, the UCNH 10 and MANH- Nagriamel two, the National Party, therefore, having a clear majority over the other combined parties, which, however, are likely to vote with the “foreigners”—six represent ing the chambers of commerce and three the co-operative societies. There are also four representatives from the customary chiefs. Control of the 42seat Assembly, however, will be in the hands of the two resident com missioners, who can refuse to accept any resolution.
