That is the main reason why elections in Bougainville have been quiet since nominations period.
Assistant Commissioner for Police (ACP) and Chief of Bougainville Police, Francis Tokura, said election preparations have been quiet, unlike previous years of election.
Tokura said from information he has gathered, one of the significant changes that Bougainville has seen is candidates going into wards and communities by themselves to do their own campaigning.
“In the past, we would see truckloads and groups of supporters driving around with candidates.”
