PNG: Electoral Commission says counting too slow
Updated
PNG's Electoral Commissioner Andrew Trawen has expressed concern at the slow pace of polling and counting in the country's general election. The Electoral Commission wants permission to extend the counting period by at least another week. Mr Trawen says if they can't speed up the counting process, then parliament will not be able to resume as required by early August to swear in the Speaker and also the next Prime Minister. Despite the slow counting our reporter in Port Moresby, Firmin Nanol, tells us that Sir Mekere Morauta has won his seat comfortably.
