Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O’Neill speaks during the APEC CEO Summit 2018 at Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, 16 November 2018.
O’Neill, who handed the reins of power to former prime minister Sir Julius Chan, said the change of leadership will allow the country to “continue the reform agenda that we have been delivering.” Defections from the ruling coalition have been going on for weeks and on Friday at least nine members switched sides, according to two ministers who were among them. O’Neill’s opponents needed to rally 62 members of PNG’s 111-seat parliament to vote him out.
