Prime Minister Hon. James Marape has invited leaders of all political parties across government and opposition to participate in an important dialogue and awareness session on preparations for the 2027 National General Election.

The meeting, scheduled for tomorrow morning at Melanesian Haus in Port Moresby, will bring together political party leaders for a comprehensive presentation by the Electoral Commission on the current status of election preparations.

Prime Minister Marape said his government remained fully committed to delivering a properly resourced, fair, transparent and credible election in 2027.

“My government is committed to ensuring that the 2027 National General Election is adequately resourced to the best of our ability and conducted fairly for every candidate, political party and voter across our country,” Prime Minister Marape said.

“This consultation process is important because elections belong to the people and all stakeholders must understand exactly where preparations currently stand, what challenges exist, and what improvements can be made together.”

Prime Minister Marape said the session would also provide political leaders with the opportunity to contribute views and recommendations as preparations continue.

“These consultation sessions are important because awareness and transparency are essential to building confidence in our electoral processes. We want all political parties to understand the preparation status and to contribute ideas that can strengthen the election process.”

The Electoral Commissioner and Electoral Commission officials will provide detailed briefings during the session.

Minister for Administrative Services Hon. Richard Masere has extended invitations to all relevant political parties and stakeholders to participate.

Prime Minister Marape said he would personally attend the session from 8:30am to 10:00am to demonstrate the Government’s commitment to an inclusive and transparent electoral process.

“I encourage all leaders to participate fully because credible elections are fundamental to democracy and the future stability of our country,” Prime Minister Marape said.
