He was the first in the history of Solomon Islands as a Prime Minister who won by 29 votes in the first round.

Lilo believed the election demonstrated his legality to lead Solomon Islands as a captain.

However, minutes following his declaration, an angry mob demonstrated their disagreement by matching from Point Cruz to the Prime Minister's Office and finally to the Government House to show their disappointment. They protested against the Prime Minister in an attempt to force Mr. Lilo to resign. But he remain firm and stable against the fresh allegations against him by saying that the mob have no legal rights to vote him off from his newly elected post except the parliament. The election process was done under the protocols of democracy and there is no way to willingly resign.
