The National Court has re-instated Hela Regional Member Anderson Agiru as Hela governor temporarily.
Justice Derek Hartshorn granted the interim orders sought by Agiru this morning to maintain the status-quo while they await proper trial of the matter.
Agiru has also been granted by the Court to perform his functions as governor while the court deals with the substantive issue.
The matter will return to court on February 19 for proper trial over the manner in which Komo-Magarima MP Francis Potape was elected governor on December 29 in Tari during a Hela Provincial Assembly meeting.
