The Local Level Government (LLG) Elections is confirmed for mid-2024 and this election may see for the first the LLG presidents being elected by the people, in a presidential style of election. The Minister for Provincial and Local Level Government Affairs, Soroi Eoe said the matter of deciding the course of future LLG President elections was discussed last week and also this week during government caucus. Minister Eoe said since last week Cabinet debated whether or not people should elect the presidents of the various LLGs or continue with the current process where Ward members would elect the presidents. Since then, Mr. Eoe said he raised the issue to get the reaction of the members of the government caucus as to how the presidents would be elected. “So, we conducted a government caucus last week and this week and the majority of the Members of Parliament would like to see presidents be elected by the people.” “So, this is what I will be taking to the Cabinet and then after Cabinet has endorsed that, then we can then present it to the Governor General for endorsement and approval.” Should this go through, Papua New Guinea would see a new type of voting system introduced at the LLG level, where the people will have the power to decide on who they want to be their LLG President.
