This Provincial Assembly meet will have to be chaired by the Deputy Governor Thomas Potabe as per the Standing Orders of the Hela Provincial Assembly.
The decision came this morning after what seemed like a long, two-hour wait for the Hela provincial leaders in court and their supporters, who gathered outside the Waigani National Court buildings.
Justice Collin Makail in his decision found both the elections of Komo-Margarima MP, Francis Potape, and member Koroba-Lake Kopiagio, Philip Undialu, to the Governor’s post on July 5, were null and void.
