Island candidate<br />
that campaigned<br />
on Kiriwina.<br />
Left his campaign<br />
too late and too<br />

Cash, social<br />
networks & humor<br />
Cash with<br />
unrealistic<br />
promises, albeit<br />
late launch on and<br />
campaign<br />
Shied away after a<br />
few campaigns in<br />
at least four<br />
villages.<br />
Resisted<br />
campaigning<br />
overall, and only<br />
keen to exploit<br />
party resources<br />
Great presentation<br />
<strong>of</strong> campaign<br />
speech, unique and<br />
almost suicidal<br />
campaign moves,<br />
and lured votes<br />
with cash and<br />
goods<br />
Intra-local ‘politics’<br />
probably undermined his<br />
potential to perform better<br />
than previously. Exploited<br />
customary practices.<br />
Candidate was more<br />
dependent on cash to do<br />
the job. Exploited<br />
customary practices.<br />
Poor performance affected<br />
his chances <strong>of</strong> retaining the<br />
seat. Cash came to the<br />
rescue in the final hour.<br />
Exploited customary<br />
practices.<br />
Investigation in progress<br />
Investigation in progress<br />
Previously contested but<br />
leadership at national &<br />
international level is<br />
questionable. Exploited<br />
customary practices.<br />
Relied much on church<br />
network but perhaps did<br />
not cultivate it well<br />
enough. Exploited<br />
customary practices.<br />
Delay <strong>of</strong> Party funding<br />
caused his chance to<br />
campaign a bit more<br />
extensively.<br />
Went in with self-interest<br />
and was not genuine in<br />
serving the electorate.<br />
Lost on First Preference<br />
votes due to no cash<br />
handout in the weeks<br />
before and during polling,<br />
and ‘failed’ to network<br />
potential support base or,<br />
create greater awareness on<br />
‘Do Nots’ <strong>of</strong> elections<br />
much earlier. Gathered<br />
mostly Second Preferences<br />
instead.<br />
