from The National - The PNG Defence Force Arava aircraft was used over the weekend to fly 253 ballot boxes from Tari into Mendi for counting of votes. The boxes contain votes for the three Hela electorates - Komo/Magarima, Tari/Pori and Koroba/Kopiago. The boxes were held in Tari after candidates demanded that counting for the three electorates be done in Tari. They were released following a court order, and after an assurance of their security. Pictured, security troops helping electoral officials unload the ballot boxes from the Arava aircraft on the Mendi airport tarmac.
