From , 6:01 am on 31 May 2022

Electioneering is ramping up in Papua New Guinea with some skirmishes between supporters of rival candidates already being reported in parts of the country.

Nominations closed last week with the larger political parties making their intentions clear some fielding as many as ninety candidates.

Joining me from Port Moresby is RNZ Pacific's Papua New Guinea correspondent Scott Waide, welkam wantok, so close of nominations last week what happens now?
