Counting for the North Bougainville by-election is into the quality checks now after the completion of primary counts.
This follows a temporary suspension after concerns that transparent counting was not done right.
Results after progressive count number eight are as follows for the top five candidates,
- Lauta Atoi -477
- Francesca Semoso – 320
- Noel Sarei -113
- Jeffrey Magum- 67
- Martin Takali -17
Counting is down in Buka. At least four women are in this race.
The by-election of the North Bougainville Seat follows the passing of former member William Nakin in July 2022.
Since the formation of the 11th National Parliament, the people of North Bougainville has been without a representative on the floor of National Parliament.
