@edden.lombe: Let's take a trip back to 29th May 2019, when PNG witnessed a major political change. After almost seven years as Prime Minister, Hon. Peter O'Neill formally resigned from office amid growing political pressure and defections by government MPs. Following his resignation, then Tari-Pori MP Hon. James Marape made some interesting remarks in Parliament about his former leader. Marape openly admitted: "I used to think that you are power-hungry. But you are not." He further acknowledged that Peter O'Neill had listened to the people's concerns and showed courage by stepping down. Marape also recognised O'Neill's seven years of leadership and said that, as his former minister, they had made mistakes together. Interestingly, just one day later, on 30th May 2019, James Marape was elected as the eighth Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, receiving 101 votes against Late.Sir Mekere Morauta's eight votes. What a moment in PNG political history! WATCH THE VIDEO & LISTEN TO JAMES MARAPE'S OWN WORDS ABOUT PETER O'NEILL'S RESIGNATION.
