Papua New Guinea’s Prime Minister James Marape is facing a looming no-confidence vote as parliament reconvenes, with opposition party member Rainbo Paita nominated as an alternate prime minister. Paita, previously a member of Marape’s cabinet, defected along with 17 others from the ruling Pangu Party. The parliament session on Tuesday is expected to be dominated by this political turmoil, overshadowing the tragic landslide in Enga province that has left around 2,000 people buried. While Marape’s coalition partners have expressed support, the motion of no-confidence is still expected to be lodged. The Prime Minister, now with a reduced coalition, is gearing up to defend his position amid the challenging political climate.
