Opposition Leaders Don Polye has called on the Electoral Commissioner Patilias Gamato to be transparent, responsible and effective in managing the 2017 National Election.
Polye made the call when responding to Prime Minister Peter O’Neill’s call on politicians to let Gamato carry out his constitutional duties in handling the election.
He said the Commissioner’s conduct so far had proved that he was not discharging his constitutional duties independently as he should have been.
Polye said he has only been guiding the Electoral Commissioner to perform his constitutional duties to deliver a free and fair election.
He said Gamato’s conduct has already started the process of rigging the election process.
Polye claims that the Prime Minister has carefully orchestrated things, saying when found out, he swiftly covered it up.
