2019 LLG elections

POWER traversing from national to sub-national was never fully understood until the 2019 LLG Elections.
With time people have become more and more aware and begin to understand and appreciate the inherent power connection of Waigani and the districts.
It now shatters and dispels the once commonly held belief that LLG elections belonged only to the district and local politics.
This is because the LLGs are the power base. Districts do not orbit on their own.
They are part of a system, a part of our political universe. In the Imbonggu parlance, Waigani is the head and Walume is its tail.
Politics in Imbonggu has come of age and we are witnessing the alignment and cascading effects of power play.
Moreover, politics – big or small- hinges on a simple precept, “you reap what you sow”.
The unfolding of events from councils to presidents’ election is a revelation of the simple precept and I am pretty sure no love is lost here.
And this brings me to the alleged involvement of the Minister for LLGs in the LLG elections.
The Minister for Inter-Government Relations – formally Provincial and LLG Affairs- and Member for Imbonggu Open, Pila Kole Niningi, was on a whirlwind tour countrywide getting firsthand on the LLG elections and Imbonggu was one of the stopovers.
For a politician politics is the name of his game.
Like they say, all road leads to Rome, all LLGs lead to the MP. And the DDA is the Member’s fiefdom, his private chamber, period! It is not by choice but by design as the DDA Act 2016 intended.
So, the option available for the LLG presidential candidates having problems with the status quo is to get on your knees and crawl to the power broker and beg for his mercy and forgiveness.
