    About our Papua New Guinean Politics news

    Latest news on politics in Papua New Guinea (PNG), marked by a diverse range of challenges, including governance issues and resource management.

    The political landscape in PNG is characterized by a multitude of parties, and frequent coalition governments. Prominent parties include the People's National Congress (PNC), led by former Prime Minister Peter O'Neill, and the National Alliance Party. James Marape, the current Prime Minister of PNG, previously served as Finance Minister before succeeding O'Neill in 2019 following his resignation amid a looming vote of no confidence. Marape later went on to become the leader of the Pangu Pati, the largest party in the National Parliament as of 2023

    Whilst PNG is rich in natural resources, particularly minerals, forestry, and fisheries, the management of these resources has been a source of contention. Issues like resource exploitation, land rights, and environmental conservation are prominent in political discourse.
