The election petition trial in the National Court disputing Philip Undialu’s declaration as Hela Regional MP continues in Waigani.
Justice Joseph Yagi is presiding over the trial which commenced last Friday.
Francis Potape’s scrutineer in the election, Tape Pulupe, was called to the stand yesterday to give evidence.
Dr Hewali Hemia’s sole scrutineer in the election was also called yesterday to give evidence.
He was questioned by Philip Undialu’s lawyer on certain parts of his affidavit, which they thought were similar to the affidavit of Potape’s lawyer.
The trial continues.
