The election of Donald is being disputed in court by Paiyo Bale and Sam Bob Auwi.
A motion by Donald, challenging the competency of the petition Auwi filed, will be heard next week at the Waigani National court. Donald’s motion is on grounds of late filing.
If that motion is unsuccessful and petition survives, other motions on objections will be heard at the commencement of trial.
The petition filed by Bale has been fixed from 1 February to 9 February, 2018, in Kiunga, Western Province.
