The European Union has for the first time shown its interest to observe A National Elections in PNG.
Electoral Commissioner, Patilias Gamato, announced that the EU has shown interest as a observer in this year’s elections.
The EU is among several countries and organisations, which have shown interest to be observers during the elections.
Other observers include the Commonwealth Secretary, The United States of America, Australia, New Zealand, the Australian National University (ANU), the South Pacific Forum, and Transparency International Papua New Guinea (TIPNG).
Gamato said he has asked the United Nations Development Programme office in the country to assist them with coordinating the stay and logistics of the international observers.
He said a small team made up of the Electoral Commission, Department of Foreign Affairs, and UNDP will be looking after the group.
