General elections will be held in Papua New Guinea at some point in or before 2027 to elect the 12th National Parliament of Papua New Guinea.
Background
At the last election (held in 2022), the Pangu Pati, led by James Marape, won 39 seats, gaining 30 seats, in a landslide victory. However, no party won a majority of seats, which is common in Papua New Guinean elections.
Key issues
Along with common key issues such as crime, employment and poverty, one specific issue for debate will be the status of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, where 98% of the population vote for independence in a referendum held in 2019. Bougainville is expected to achieve independence by 2027, if an agreement is ratified by the National Parliament.[1]
