Steve William Abana (born 1969 in Fourau, Malaita[1]) is a Solomon Islands politician.
In November 2007, Sogavare dismissed him from office, accusing him of seeking support to oust him from the premiership.
[1][3] As leader of the Democratic Party, Abana was a key member of Sikua's Coalition for National Unity and Rural Advancement government.
Abana led the Democratic Party into the August 2010 general election, campaigning on a promise of "more recognition to tribal landowners by registering all tribal lands in the name of tribes"; "the implementation of a National Adaptation Plan to address Climate Change for the most vulnerable communities; a focus to improve the standard of living in villages consistent with the Millennium Development Goals"; a pledge "to ensure that 80 percent of energy in the country be produced from renewable resources"; and electoral reform to introduce preferential voting.
[5] Abana then stood for the premiership, against Danny Philip of the breakaway Reformed Democratic Party.
