Quality checks for the Moresby South count have been delayed. This is due to issues among scrutineers at the counting venue.
Returning Officer Michale Are did not confirm the exact issue but told Loop PNG it stems from counting.
Currently Are and counting officials are awaiting the scrutineers, who he said are discussing amongst themselves.
He said once they are ready then the quality checks may be done.
