PNG Elections : Chief Justice Disappointed over delay in NCD Polling

Papua New Guinea Chief Justice, Sir Gibbs Salika has expressed disappointment over the delay in polling for the National Capital District.

Sir Gibbs says he has released judges, magistrates and the staff of the judicial services to take part in polling today.

And, the delay has now caused inconveniences.

Sir Gibbs said this after he turned up at the Electoral Commission’s headquarters in Port Moresby early this morning to confirm the delay in polling.

He told journalists that he went to his scheduled voting location with his wife, but realized there was no voting.

Sir Gibbs says despite the delay, it was the responsibility of the Electoral Commission to ensure elections run smoothly.

The Chief Justice and his wife also took time to pray for a successful election.
