	Time for the Big Man to come to the aid of his nation again - smh.com.au
		The National Alliance Party he formed last election - after falling out with his Pangu Party - is likely to be the largest party and have the first chance to cobble together a coalition government out of the 109-seat chamber.
		In an apparent statement of a newfound resolve, his party has instructed lawyers to seek a court decision on the electoral commission's move to extend the return of election writs for another fortnight.
		Pangu officials claimed the firm was their business arm, but it transpired to be controlled by Somare family interests.

	Class, Ethnicity, Regionalism and Political Parties
		Political parties were slow to emerge in Papua New Guinea and in 1984 – 20 years after the first general elections – it still requires some stretch of the imagination to speak of a party system in Papua New Guinea.
		Pangu was maintained in office, however, by a split within the UP which brought about half of that party’s members across the floor to the government.
		Although most of the larger parties have, on paper, organisational structures based on party branches, in fact the majority have their origins in parliamentary alliances and remain dominated by parliamentary members, and between elections party organisations in the electorates tend to atrophy.

		The parliament and, accordingly, the government are not controlled by any single party, but collectively by several parties and non-partisans, and the prime minister's post has rotated among them.
		In Papua New Guinea's multi-party politics, relatively stable and enduring parties compete for political influence on non-extremist conservative or liberal platforms and representing the interests of urban communities (PP), highlanders (NAP), island communities (PPP) and other social groups.
		Party allegiance is generally weak, and voting across party lines is common among legislators.

		A vote for a Pangu candidate at any national election was a vote for Michael Somare, for it was inconceivable that anyone else would become a Pangu prime minister.
		By the mid-eighties, concern was expressed within Pangu ranks that Sir Michael showed no signs of handing over to a younger man, and that the time had come to persuade him to cede his leadership.
		Following the 1992 election, the Chief briefly re-assumed leadership of Pangu and of the Opposition, in the wake of the Namaliu government's one vote loss of power in the House, and critically, the tragic death from luekemia of Sir Rabbie's wife, Lady Margaret Nakikus.

		The Kokopo MP said a lot of young leaders were also coming forward to join the party and run for offices in both the national and local level government elections which were very encouraging because it was healthy for democracy.

	Papua New Guinea (09/06)
		As the majority of Parliamentarians do not retain their seats (75% lost in 2002), party structure is weak and national leadership is not stable.
		The current government was formed by a coalition of several parties after the 2002 election in which virtually the entire previous cabinet lost their seats.
		New governments are protected by law from votes of no confidence for the first 18 months of their incumbency, and no votes of no confidence may be moved in the 12 months preceding a national election.

		However, his government lost a vote of confidence in 1980 and was replaced by a new cabinet headed by Sir Julius Chan as Prime Minister.

		He served in the Australian Foreign Service and was a senior public servant in Papua New Guinea (PNG) before helping to orchestrate the return to power of Michael Somare's Pangu Party in the 1982 National Elections.
		It is significant that when Siaguru stood for Parliament as a Pangu Party candidate, he did not represent his natal place.
		He eschewed the graft which typifies PNG politics and pursued highly principled ends, which led him to break away from Pangu and form a separate but allied party with a group including the veteran Australian politician Barry Holloway, and the entrepreneurial European Karl Stack.

	Kapal v Karali and Electoral Commission [1997] PGNC 70; N1646 (12 June 1997)
		The error sought to be corrected is in respect of the ballot paper for the Provincial seat wherein the Plaintiff appears as being endorsed by the Pangu Party with that party’s leader Chris Haiveta’s photograph appearing next to the Plaintiff’s photograph.
		The Plaintiff claims he is a National Party candidate and not a Pangu Party candidate and therefore, the ballot paper should be immediately corrected in that regard before the date of polling which is scheduled for 16th June 1997.
		Notices published in the daily Post Courier and National newspapers by the Commission shows that it was aware of the Plaintiff being endorsed by the National Party but somehow the ballot paper does not reflect this.
