Association of Independent Members

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Association of Independent Members of Parliament (AIMP) or Association of Independent Members (AIM) is a political party in the Solomon Islands founded by Tommy Chan in 2001.[1]

At the 2001 elections, the party won 13 out of 50 seats.[2] After the 2006 elections, party member Snyder Rini was elected as Prime Minister. Subsequent riots against him led to his resignation after just eight days.[3]
