PNC HEAVYWEIGHT MR NIXON (DORA LIU) DUBAN PETITIONS TO STOP COUNTING FOR MADANG OPEN SEAT AFTER TRAILING BADLY

PNGBLOGS
Sitting Member and PNC Candidate Nixon Duban has petitioned the Returning Officer for the Madang Open Seat to stop the counting of last 8 boxes from the Transgogol LLG.
Duban is insisting that the Returning Officer carryout a quality check of the votes counted. He has also requested the RO to produce the Presiding Officers returns (reports) disclosing the number of ballot-papers used during the polling. To reconcile the votes.
Last night Duban fronted up at the counting center to observe proceedings. Scrutineers of the other candidates asked the question whether it was proper for a sitting Member to be seen within the precinct of the counting center.
Counting was scheduled to run continue through 4am however following the presence of Duban it was suspended at 11:30pm following the completion of the last boxes from Madang Urban.
RO announced counting of last 8 boxes of Transgogol would resume at 8am tomorrow.
This morning Duban scrutineers prepared a petition asking that counting be suspended and a quality check be carried out.
The petition was given to other candidate's scrutineers to sign but they refused insisting counting must proceed and that quality check can be carried out after the counting of all the votes which is the proper practice.
To add a further twist the Madang Police are now refusing to provide security over the payment of their allowances.
Duban's scrutineers are now insisting counting should not continue without the presence of security personnel.
All the counting officials and Assistant Returning Officer are sitting at the counting center ready to count.
