Micah continues PPP’s Highlands tour

​The People’s Progress Party (PPP) awareness drive in the Highlands region continued to Eastern Highlands and Chimbu on Monday.

PPP Secretary General Moses Kar told Loop PNG that the main aim of the tour is strictly doing party awareness and identifying potential candidates for the 2017 elections.

He said all the executives alongside party leader Ben Micah have been participating in the awareness.

The awareness started last Friday in Mt Hagen with the former Prime Minister and New Ireland Governor Sir Julius Chan launching his book ‘Playing the Game’.

Sir Julius was invited by the leader of the People’s Democratic Movement (PDM) and Western Highlands Governor Paias Wingti to do the launching in his province.

Kar said they (PPP) are not feasting or whatsoever to lure people but doing awareness in preparations for the upcoming national elections.

“People are arriving in numbers to see PPP party leader Ben Micah in person and what style or type of person he is after leaving the government side and abandoning his perks and privileges as a senior minister,” he said.

The PPP team will be ending their Highlands tour tomorrow and continue to the New Guinea Islands region.

People’s Progress Party was founded in 1968 by Sir Julius Chan, who was Prime Minister from 1980 to 1982 and 1994 to 1997.

The party is now 48 years in existence and will be celebrating its Jubilee anniversary in two years’ time.

It is now under the leadership of Ben Micah and currently has seven MPs in Parliament.
