The petition was filed challenging second-term Moresby South MP, Justin Tkatchenko’s win, by Samson Kirilyo.
It went for direction hearing where the police station commander was summoned to give evidence.
A date for the trial will be set after the matter returns for pre-trial conference.
Petitioner Kirilyo is alleging that ballot boxes were tampered with at the Badili station before they were brought to the counting venue.
