ELECTION-RELATED VIOLENCE
By BRADELY MARIORI
The public must respect one another during the campaign period and the rest of the national election, Morobe police commander Augustine Wampe said.
He said the limited preferential voting (LPV) is a good system which gives people a good chance to cast their votes and avoid violence.
“People must not be violent with each other,” Mr Wampe said.
He said he was impressed with the behaviour of people during the nomination week in all nine districts of Morobe Province.
He said there was little problem at Aseki, in Menyamya district, caused by drunkards of which police managed to bring under control.
“The nomination week activities were conducted professionally,” Mr Wampe said, though expressing disappointment at the breaking of traffic rules in Lae.
He said people came in truckloads to support their candidates’ nominations and did not observe traffic rules.
“Otherwise, I’m impressed and want to thank all the people of Morobe Province for supporting law and order and abiding the rules.
“Keep it up throughout the election,” Mr Wampe said.
