Kokoda Local Level Government President Willie Pinga who has acted in the position since January 24th this year, handed over the chairmanship to Amuli before the DDA meeting commenced.
Mr Amuli’s election petition, filed by former MP Delillah Gore, was nullified by a National Court decision on January 24, 2023, and stayed through a successful Supreme Court appeal on June 8, 2023.
Mr Pinga said service delivery in the district was affected because of the court case.
