About This document contains a table of available election results for general elections held in Papua New Guinea between 1972 and 2012. It is drawn from the Development Policy Centre’s Papua New Guinea Election Results Database. You can learn more about the database here: http://devpolicy.org/pngelections/ The data that follow are not official election results and are for research use only. We cannot guarantee that the results are free of errors. How to read the data tables The data tables that this book contain are sorted by election year, then alphabetically by constituency name. If a constituency or year is missing, it means we do not have data for it. Missing data are listed on the next page. Constituencies were re-districted prior to the 1977 election and the names of some constituencies were changed. The table below explains the different columns you will see in the data tables. Field Explanation Year Year of election. Constituency The name of the constituency. Candidate's name The candidate's name. 1st preference votes The number of first preference votes the candidate won. For years from 1977 to 2002 PNG used a first past the post electoral system and only first preference votes exist. Votes after prefs if relevant In 1972, and for elections after 2002, PNG used preferential voting systems. In these years, this column shows the votes won after preference allocations by candidates still in the count at the final preference round. Is sitting MP? "Yes" indicates the candidate was the sitting MP. We have no data for this field for 1972. Winner? "Yes" indicates the candidate won the election. Winner's vote share Shows the winner's vote share. In years with preferential voting this is the vote share after preference allocation. Missing Data Because of missing data, invalidated elections, or recounts, data are not included for the following electorates and years: 1972 Kairuku Hiri Open 1977 Baiyer Mul Open 1977 Koroba Lake Kopiago Open 1977 Menyamya Open 1977 Moresby North East Open 1977 Moresby North West Open 1982 Manus Open 1987 Mendi Open 1987 Moresby South Open 1992 South Bougainville Open 2002 Imbonggu Open 2002 Kagua Erave Open 2002 Komo Margarina Open 2002 Koroba Lake Kopiago Open 2002 Southern Highlands Provincial 2002 Tari Provincial 2007 All constituencies 2012 Central Provincial 2012 Chimbu Provincial 2012 Gulf Provincial 2012 Huon Gulf Open 2012 Jiwaka Provincial 2012 Kerema Open 2012 South Bougainville Open Contents Election year Page 1972 1 1977 11 1982 24 1987 41 1992 61 1997 84 2002 116 2012 153 1st Votes after Is preference prefs if sitting Winner's Year Constituency Candidate's name votes relevant MP?

    Partners in crime The political web that supports the illegal Kiunga Aiambak timber project Canberra Friends of PNG Association May 2002 Contents Executive summary Introduction The core of the scam Paiso Limited Concord Pacific Philip Lee Illegal Timber Authorities Illegal Tax Concessions The political web The fine detail Deputy Prime Minister Minister for Foreign Affairs Minister for Mining Minister for Works Minister for Transport Minister for Agriculture Ex Minister for Finance Ex Minister for Forests Governor of Milne Bay Member for North Waghi Member for Middle Fly Governor of Western Province Attorney General Ex Forest Authority Managing Director Ex Secretary for Agriculture Secretary for Lands Prime Minister Appendices Background documentation Executive summary The Kiunga Aiambak timber project has been operating since 1994. The project is widely known to be totally illegal and the PNG Forest Authority accepted this as early as 1995.1 The illegality of the project was confirmed in the Independent Forestry Review (2001)2 and has been publicly acknowledged by the Prime Minister.3 Local landowners have been complaining since 1995, calling for an Ombudsman Inquiry and for the project to be shut down.4 However the project is still on going with more than US$50 million worth of logs having been exported. Meanwhile the Government has lost out on potential tax revenues because of illegal tax exemptions given to the project and the local people have suffered a catalogue of negative social and environmental impacts. So why has no effective action been taken to stop the project and prosecute some of those who have been involved? The map below may begin to give an answer to this question and should be seen in the context of the widespread allegations of political corruption and institutionalised mismanagement in the forest industry.
