Current listing of MPs and Political Parties they come under

By Ila Pala

The final quarter of the year has been a busy period especially for some of the senior Ministers and Members of Parliament being involved in the recently concluded Asia Pacific Economic Corporation (APEC) meeting held in Port Moresby.  Since the completion of the APEC a number of parties have announced some movements of MP’s through the media however no official documentation from these parties have been forwarded to the Registry.  Since the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision, Members of Parliament have been allowed to move and join other political parties however the Registry does require official documentation from the parties and Members concerned such as resignation letters, letters of request to join other political parties and formal letters of acceptance.

Some political parties also have provisions in their party constitutions relating to Members resignations and the Registry strongly advises that these provisions are also adhered to.  Once all of the documents are verified by the Registry, the list of MP’s by their political parties can be amended.


Below is the list of Members by their political parties as of the 1st November 2018. This list is updated every month.
