Police in Lae have called on intending candidates to run their campaign in a respectable manner.
Metropolitan Commander, Chief Superintendent Anthony Wagambie Jr: "I want all the intending candidates and their supporters to conduct their campaign according to the laws of the elections.
"We will be out in full force to make sure these laws are observed and adhered to.”
Wagambie Jr stated that if they are in a convoy, they must sit inside their vehicles and not stand up.
He said they know those candidates are leaders in their own rights and would observe these rules but in case some accidentally step out of line or cause nuisance.
Lae police have already conducted their pre operations and will continue until the declarations are made.
They have already inducted 44 new trainees from Bomana Police College, and are looking forward to providing a safe environment for a peaceful election.
Nominations opened on April 20, after Governor-General Bob Dadae signed the writs.
