They are Milne Bay Governor, Titus Philemon, and South Bougainville MP, Timothy Masiu. Philemon has now joined the United Resources Party (URP), while Masiu joins the National Alliance Party.
Micah said they have accepted the resignation of both MP’s to leave PPP, which is currently a partner in the opposition ranks.
He said the defection on the eve of the elections does not affect PPP in any way and that the party is used to having MP’s jump ship.
