The counting of Marovo Constituency ballot boxes was suspended by Western Province Election Manager Collin Potakana last night and resumed this morning.
Four constituencies, namely South Vella La Vella, Gizo/Kolombangara, South New Georgia, and Rendova Tetepari and Shortland Islands, have already completed their counting and their results announced.
According to Potakana, out of the five remaining constituencies, only Marovo Constituency has not yet completed its counting.
The counting was suspended this yesterday and has resumed this morning.
“Only four batches have been counted as of 6 p.m. Saturday evening.”
“An additional four batches will continue today with our counting officials,” said Potakana.
He mentioned that a total of eight batches are assigned to the Marovo Constituency, which is the largest constituency in the province.
Potakana stated that once all four batches are completed, the results of Marovo Constituency will be announced.
“These results will determine the elected MP for Marovo Constituency.”
Potakana expressed his gratitude to the public for the good behavior shown after the results were announced this yesterday.
