PNG SOCIALIST PARTY OFFICIAL LAUNCHING

Simbu has created a New Baby in Politics!

As the Easter quietly swept by in the four corner township of Kundiawa town, politics was in the air again with the successful launching of the new party called PNG Socialist Party by the Party leader and the former Secretray of National Planning, Mr Dr. Ga'allah Peter Kora.

Little is known of Simbu's forming political parties apart from the PNG National Party which was Sir Iambakey Okuk who had a big influence.

It was formed on 14 November 1969 by Thomas Kavali. Paul Pora and later Iambakey Okuk were also prominent members.

At the 2002 election, the party is said to have won 3 of 109 seats. The party won 1 out of 109 seats in the 2007 General Elections.  It was led into the 2012 election by Simon Sanangke from outside parliament; however, the party won no seats.

It is currently led by MP Kerenga Kua, who assumed the leadership in 2016 after his resignation from the National Alliance Party. He is currently the Party Leader.

"Most of us Simbu are either administrators in other political parties run by other ethic grouping or lobbyist for others to get into power and also become mentors to others who eventually become successfull and hold high executive pourahositions while we are given the back seat. Its now time to make a stand," said Dr. Kora during is speech.

PNGSP is aiming to bring back all the Simbu elites back home to develop  the province and discourage the "bag carrier mentality".

Although Simbu are taking the lead in the administration the Party is a nationalist organisation where the policies of the party is purposely deigned to eradicated corruption & poverty through equal distribution of wealth and services to the populous. It ivites and encourages like minded people with radical standing to see the country move forward instead of repeating the same same thing (ideologies and policies) and expecting different results-insanity.
