Although polling kicked off a little late then expected in Kerema Town, polling was successfully completed today for wards 1 and 4 for Kerema Urban Local Level Government.
Gulf Election Manager Poevare Tore said polling for the other seven wards for the Kerema Open seat will be held during the week.
Although the Provincial Election Team planned for all the wards and Electorates to commence polling today, logistical issues delayed the process.
While Kerema Open Electorate commenced polling today, Kikori Open Electorate will commence polling either on Thursday or Friday.
Tore said the district is still waiting for the election materials and polling officials to reach the polling sites.
“We are running against time to get all the boxes to the other six (6) LLGs to ensure polling commence on Thursday or Friday and will go on for the next 3-4days before all materials are transported back in preparation for counting.”
Gulf Province has only two electorates, Kerema Open Electorate and Kikori Open Electorate.
Kerema Open has six LLG’s and Kikori Open has four electorates.
