PNG PM survives no confidence vote Featured
PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill
22 July, 2016. Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O'Neill has easily survived a vote of no-confidence in the national parliament.
The parliament sat for the vote today amid heavy police presence in the capital, Port Moresby.
After over an hour of increasingly intense debate, the speaker disallowed further discussion and the vote took place.
Mr O'Neill won the vote of no confidence moved against him 85 to 21.
The opposition had brought the motion against Mr O'Neill, saying he had to be removed over a long list of abuses of office as well as mismanagement of the economy.
Parliament has been adjourned to 9 August.
