PNG Elections : NCD Polling Deferred to Friday 8th July

Polling for the National Capital District has been  further delayed to Friday 8th of July, 2022.

NCD Election Manager Kila Ralai said the decision to defer was made because of interference in the administration process by the candidates and scrutineers in Moresby North East electorate.

Polling in City of Port Moresby delayed until Friday 8th July 

Ralai apologized to the voters and all the stakeholders involved but said this was done to maintain the integrity of the office of the Electoral Commission.

He further said the process is more important than the date scheduled for elections.

Ralai said they are ready to deliver the elections however however since the interferences are done by stakeholders of the election, they had to attend to them.
