THE Registrar of Political Parties
and Candidates, Dr Alphonse Gelu, confirmed that as of Wednesday (June 4), the
four Members of Parliament that called it quits on the Triumph Heritage
Empowerment (THE) Party, had officially made their intensions known to join the
ruling PNC Party.
He
said that the registry had received letter from Ijivitari MP David Arore, Sohe MP and Minister for Higher Education,
Science, Research and Technology Delilah Gore, and Member for
Kiriwina-Goodenough and Forest Minister Douglas Tomuriesa, seeking membership
with the People National Congress Party.
“The four
MPs that decided to leave THE Party; we have received letters from three of
them on Wednesday that is Delilah Gore, Douglas Tomuriesa, and David Arore,” Dr
Gelu said.
“We have
not received anything from Tambul Nebilyer MP Benjamin Popenawa as yet and we
will wait for to inform us of such.”
“They have
written to PNC that they want to join the party, and have copied me in those
letters, and that is basically what we wanted them to do.”
“We are now
waiting for PNC to accept them- when they do they will inform us, and when that
happens then that is it and the process is complete.”
Dr Gelu
said that they would remove their names from THE Party in the listings, which
is updated each month, and change the listing to have them under PNC from where
they previously were.
“Right now
they are still under THE Party, until the situation is changed where PNC
accepts them where there will be a form for them to fill then the process will
be complete.”
