Sir John Ini Lapli GCMG (baptised 25 June 1955)[1] is a former Governor-General of the Solomon Islands, serving from 7 July 1999 until 7 July 2004.
Prior to his election as Governor-General in June 1999, Lapli was Premier of Temotu Province.[2] He was taken hostage by rebels in 2000, but released after a few days, when the Prime Minister and his government promised to resign. In June 2004 Lapli failed to be re-elected to the position of Governor-General for another 5-year term, receiving only 6 of the 41 votes in Parliament.[3]
