TRAWEN SAYS MORESBY NORTH EAST BOXES ARE NOT REJECTED
on Wednesday, 18 July 2012. Posted in News
The Electoral Commissioner has declared that the six boxes from Port Moresby North East Electorate’s Ward 6 at six mile in Port Moresby will be either admitted or rejected for further scrutiny when Electoral Commission’s lawyer completes her interviews with the teams in relation to allegations made by several other candidates.
Mr Trawen said the Electoral Commission lawyer is still interviewing the team and said these boxes are just set aside and the Retuning Officer will decide whether to admit for counting or not.
He also stressed that there are provisions of law that governs the counting process and it is only proper and legal that when there is an alleged anomaly, legal advice is sought.
Mr Trawen said the national election is governed by the Organic Law on National and Local-level Government Elections and it is my duty to seek legal advice whenever necessary. Such measure promotes and strengthens the electoral process.
Trawen appeals to all candidates, supporters and scrutineers to be calm and to follow the process and procedures set in place for counting.
He concluded that Election is every Papua New Guinean’s business. If we take due care of the rules and laws that govern the election, we will have a good election and if the candidates, scrutineers and supporters do the same, we will achieve it.
