A senior member of the Solomon Islands opposition has tabled a motion to dissolve the entire parliament.
Patteson Oti says he believes the current parliament is unacceptable to the people of the Solomon Islands and it is his responsibility to the people to take this course of action.
Mr Oti says dissolvingparliament is the only way for the country to achieve political stability.
"What's been happening in the last two or three weeks in my opinion calls for ... the whole country to reconsider the outcome of the last elections ... on the grounds that for the first time in our history after an election we have been unable to come together and stand together," he said.
Two weeks ago, the election of Snyder Rini as prime minister sparked two days of rioting and looting in the capital, Honiara.
The unrest prompted Australia and New Zealand to send troops to help restore order.
Mr Rini resigned from the prime minister's post on April 26, easing tensions in the capital.
Two members of parliament have been nominated to replace Mr Rini.
MPs will be asked to choose between the deputy prime minister, Fred Fono, and a former prime minister, Manasseh Sogavare.
