The decision by the PNG Electoral Commissioner, Simon Sinai, to declare the Southern Highlands Provincial seat appears to contradict the democratic principles enshrined within the National Constitution, says Transparency International PNG (TIPNG). As a constitutional office, the PNG Electoral Commission (PNGEC) is tasked with upholding the integrity of the electoral process and this decision appears to go against one of the fundamental principles of the democratic election system, that is universal suffrage. The loss of the right of eligible voters to have their vote counted is at direct odds with this principle and further weakens public trust in the PNGEC to fulfil its mandate in the public interest.
In their preliminary findings drawn from their observation of the 2022 National General Elections (NGE), Transparency International PNG (TIPNG) has described the accumulated failures in the preparation, conduct, delivery and conclusion of the Elections as being a severely flawed process. The local civil society organization had 340 observers deployed during the polling period. TIPNG has released a Summary Paper outlining its initial assessment of the 2022 NGE drawing from these findings, TIPNG is calling for a genuine commitment from all stakeholders to undertake major reforms of our electoral process and systems to avoid similar problems in 2027.
