This was the call by Opposition Leader Don Polye.
Parliament will nominate a new Governor-General this month as Sir Michael Ogio’s term expires after six years.
Polye said the country needs good leadership models for the people to follow and requires a mature, experienced person whose legitimacy and honest concern for the nation is known.
He said the office of the Governor-General should go to a mature person who has been a good role model in running the country, has experience in national leadership, trusted and respected by people.
