Wabag Open Petition

RO Appointment Petitioned

A protest was held in Wabag town this morning calling for the PNG Electoral Commission to revoke the appointment of Ignas Nembo as RO.
 
Candidates allege that Nembo is related to sitting MP, Dr Lino Tom, which gives rise to a potential conflict of interest.
 
Iamau told the group that he will forward their petition to the PNGEC immediately, stressing that only the EC has the power to make decisions.
 
"The appointment of ROs occurs after they send an application," said the election manager.
