 THE National Court has dismissed an election petition against Nawaeb MP Gisuwat Siniwin because  petitioner Kennedy Wenge failed to comply with court orders and directions.

Wenge was the runner-up in the 2012 general election for Nawaeb seat in Morobe. 

Wenge had alleged errors and omissions made by polling and counting officials during the polling and counting.

Justice Colin Makail said when a party failed to comply with court orders and directions, it amounted to disobedience and being disrespectful of the court.
