FORMER New Ireland premier Pedi Anis is the National Alliance Party (NA)’s candidate fielded to unseat incumbent Kavieng MP Ian Ling-Stuckey.
NA president Stephen Pokawin told a crowd of more than 1, 000 party supporters in a rally at Snafu Oval on Thursday that it was the party’s response to Ling-Stuckey’s party-hopping to Pangu Pati.
“He stood on this party’s ticket in 2017 and won,” he said.
“To party-hop is a shock to us.
 “But we are going all out to defend Kavieng for the party through an experienced leader like Anis, who is from New Hanover.”
NA secretary-general and incumbent Namatanai MP Walter Schnaubelt, who is defending his seat, welcomed Anis who brought along his wealth of experience as a leader to NA.
“We need experienced people like Anis to provide guidance and advice to forward our political aspirations to serve the people,” he said.
“We are anticipating a clean sweep for the three seats in New Ireland with another strong contender for New Ireland Regional, Augustine Molonges who hails from the largest Sentral Niu Ailan local level government in Namatanai.”
Molonges has worked under Schnaubelt for more than 18 years and was picked to continue providing government services to not only Namatanai but Kavieng as well.
“When you vote SMA (Schnaubelt, Molonges, Anis) for the three seats in New Ireland, you can rest assured that we will give you a Double Dose Belhat Development.
“What that means is when a church, school or health centre receives funding of a certain amount in an electorate, the same amount will be added by the provincial government to enhance service delivery,” Schnaubelt said.
The New Ireland NA’s candidate box numbers are Walter Schnaubelt (27) for Namatanai, Pedi Anis (21) for Kavieng and Augustine Molonges (11) for New Ireland regional.
