Loop PNG understands that, Philip Undialu, has been declared as Governor-elect for Hela Province by Election Manager John Tipa.
However, this is being disputed by Francis Potape, alleging that Tipa burnt the master tally board this morning before doing the declaration.
Potape further alleges that Tipa had been bribed by the People’s National Congress (PNC) Party to declare Undialu without following the proper legal process.
Potape told Loop PNG from Tari that after the final elimination, his score was 67,435 while Undialu collected 65,836.
