2012 General Elections

New website for PNG election results

The website, an initiative by Dr Terence Wood, a Research Fellow at the Development Policy Centre at the Australian National University, was simultaneously launched with UPNG’s new master’s program yesterday, at the UPNG Waigani campus.

It is an open access resource that compiles PNG election results from the past four decades and contains an interactive tool that allows the user to browse and analyse election results and trends.

No backlog of election matters: Courts

The Chief Justice said the courts have cleared its decks and the upcoming elections will go without any backlog of any election petition related matters.

Speaking during the 2017 Legal Year opening, Sir Salamo told agencies of the Law and Justice Sector that this year presents a special challenge, as it has always been the case, when the third arm of government, the executive arm’s term in parliament comes to an end.

“Our responsibilities are clear, because you and I will uphold the constitution and ensure there is a fair and free election,” said Sir Salamo.
