Motu Koita Assembly (MKA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the PNG Electoral Commission and NCDC for the 2025 Motu Koita Elections, effective today Tuesday, April 15, 2025. In light of the recent announcement of Election dates by the Minister for Provincial and Local Level Government and the PNG Electoral Commission, MKA is prepared to offer support and coordination within the Motu Koita communities throughout the election period. MKA will also regularly share important election information with the Motu Koita public. “The current MoU, which is active from April 15 to December 31, 2025, includes an allocation of K500,000 from NCDC to support the PNG Electoral Commission in its election preparations and for the elections themselves,” MKA stated. The Manager of MKA expressed gratitude to the National Government and the PNG Electoral Commission for providing funding and guidance to conduct the elections, which had been delayed since 2023. He noted that this is the third MoU for the elections since 2023, and he hopes that the elections will proceed as planned with the Issue of Writs on April 24, 2025. He also thanked the NCD Governor, his Board, and the City Manager and his Management for their additional support of K500,000 towards the long-awaited MKA Elections. “The Motu Koita public is encouraged to prepare for the Elections as we work with PNGEC and NCDC to ensure a free, fair, and transparent electoral process,” he added.
