Congratulating the re-elected president Theresa Jaintong and her executives, Mr Polye said they would continue to advocate for issues affecting the women folk in the country.

"If our THE party is given the mandate to form the next government, I, as the Prime Minister, will make the council become one of our major partners in development.

He stated Eastern Highlands Governor Julie Soso and Sohe MP Delilah Gore defected THE party and joined PNC party.
