Papua New Guinea’s Supreme Court has ordered parliament to be recalled to deal with a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister James Marape.
In November last year, parliament’s private business committee prevented MPs from deliberating a motion because opposition MPs gave the same reasons for a no-confidence vote that was held and defeated two months earlier.
But the court ordered parliament to be recalled next month to debate the motion.
“We respect the court order … we will go through with the process,” said Mr Marape.
“We will comply with the court decision … this government respects the country’s constitution.”
