While current Treasury minister Gavin St Pier, former Treasury minister Charles Parkinson and St Peter Port South poll-topper Peter Ferbrache became the early front-runners to take the most senior post – president of the Policy & Resources Committee – others have not ruled themselves out, or declared an interest in other senior posts in the slimmer government.
The general election, which secured a record turn-out of 21,803 voters that was still well short of a majority of adult islanders, saw four ministers fail to get in, leaving room for a major reshuffle.
