Yama wants to become next PM

USINO/Bundi MP and People’s Labour Party (PLP) leader Peter Yama wants to be the next prime minister of PNG.
He told a rally in Markham, Morobe province, on Wednesday that he was confident that this time, he would get the position because his party had selected people who stood a very good chance of winning the elections this year.
“PLP has endorsed 55 candidates throughout the country and 21 of them were runners-up in the 2002 national election in their electorate.
“We expect to win more than 15 seats in the coming elections,” he told a gathering of over 3,000 people at Mutzing.
Mr Yama said he had put his mind and heart into achieving his ambition to become PNG’s next prime minister but if he should loose, he would quit politics.
He said PLP expected to win most of the seats it was contesting in the Momase region and this number would be supported by the candidates who would join from the Highlands and other regions.
Mr Yama said he was yet to decide whether to run for the Madang regional or defend his Usino/Bundi seat.
He said he had the support of Morobe Governor Luther Wenge and his People’s First Party and they would support each other in the campaign.
Mr Wenge, who witnessed the launching at Mutzing, handed over Koni Iguan, the PLP candidate for Markham Open to Mr Yama.
