Polling in some areas of the country always faces challenges.
However, in some places, people allow the democratic process of election to proceed without any grievances and one such area is Markham district in Morobe Province.
Former MP for Markham Andrew Baing, who is re-contesting the seat he lost in 2007, said it is the people’s right to go to polls.
“Going to polls is the people’s democratic right and they must not be intimidated or forced on who to vote for.”
Baing described polling in Markham as peaceful and conducted in an orderly manner.
He also called on every Papua New Guinean to rise up and fight corruption in the country.
Baing says fighting corruption is everyone’s responsibility.
Contesting as an Independent candidate in this elections, Baing says electing good leaders into parliament is one of the factors that can help fight corruption in the country.
Meantime, polling in the Markham district is still continuing.
