Madang Businessman Peter Yama is seeking contempt charges against former Electoral Commissioner Sir Andrew Trawen, the returning officer involved in the Madang Open by-election recount in 2014, Simon Sinai, and their lawyer Harvey Nii.
He alleges that they misled the national court with wrong information when the court was dealing with an election petition filed by Yama challenging the election of current Madang Open MP Nixon Duban.
The contempt trial has commenced before Justice Collin Makail by way of affidavits or statements.
