Makira Election Updates

Central Makira now has a new Member of Parliament. He is Hypolite Taremae. The rural cocoa farmer has unseated former MP Bernard Ghiro with a respectable winning margin. The third runner-up at the polls was Nestor Ghiro, younger brother of the former MP.

In Ulawa-Ugi, James Tora has successfully retained his seat, defeating former Governor-General Nathaniel Waena. Reports from Kira Kira said that Waena had led in most of the polling stations in Ulawa but Tora claimed victory as counting moves to polling stations in Ugi.

In West Makira, counting is in progress. The race is said to be between former MP Japhet Waipora, Jackson Suna'one and Dick Ha'amori.

Counting for East Makira is yet to commence.
