The Madang regional count will finally catch up with rest of the open seats, as it heads into its last box to be counted.
Madang's provincial Returning Officer Peter Yasaro says they will be going straight into quality to beat the time.
He said Madang is dragging behind and therefore would like for the regional seat to be at least in the last stage of the process.
After count 89 the progressive results are as follows;
