The Moresby South writ has been presented to Electoral Commissioner, Patilias Gamato.
Returning Officer Michael Are presented the writ to Gamato this morning in the presence of declared and returning MP, Justin Tkatchenko.
Gamato commended Are and his officials for ensuring that counting took place and concluded quickly.
He also urge other returning officers around the country to do the same.
Gamato also congratulated Tkatchenko, saying the people of Moresby have unanimously voted to keep him as their representative.
Tkatchenko further thanked his people, saying they have seen through the rubbish by other candidates to discredit him and overwhelmingly voted him back.
Gamato said he will hold onto all writs and present them to the Governor-General before or on the date of the return of writs.
