GUERNSEY’S Chief Minister Peter Ferbrache has been sacked after his committee lost a vote of confidence today.

States Members voted 23-16 in favour of the motion against the island’s Policy and Resources Committee.

It marks the end of office for Deputy Ferbrache who had held the island’s top political job since 2020, when he took over from Deputy Gavin St Pier.

The vote was brought to the House by Deputy Charles Parkinson last month after Policy and Resources – the island’s top committee – failed to get its funding plans, which included a goods and services tax, approved.

Former chief minister Deputy Lyndon Trott was later elected as the new president of the committee and the island’s chief minister.
