Moresby North West By-Elections

Counting Almost Complete

Counting at the Pacific Institute of Leadership and Governance (PILAG) for Ward 10 is progressing with eight ballot boxes left for counting.

Counting at all venues was delayed on Friday 11 June, due to police personnel and counting officials not receiving their allowances for deployment in the counting operations.

PNG Electoral Commission Counting Official, Paul Sailas said counting was delayed because they did not receive their allowances.

However, the issue has been resolved with counting for first preference votes now almost complete.
