PNG Country Party
The Papua New Guinea Country Party is a political party in Papua New Guinea. It was founded in 1974. History The party was founded by Sinake Giregire in March 1974 in advance of Papua New Guinean independence, drawing members largely from the United Party. The party's policy was largely based on agricultural, resource and other economic development. The conservative Australian Country Party reportedly agreed to provide assistance to the new party. It was involved in the Nationalist Pressure Group in debates surrounding the formation of the Constitution of Papua New Guinea. Giregire was defeated by John Guise in a bid to become the first Governor-General of Papua New Guinea in 1975, but the party successfully nominated Tore Lokoloko as the second Governor-General in 1977. Giregire lost his seat at the 1977 election. Giregire revived the party for the 2002 election after years of inactivity, with ex-politicians Albert Mokai, Mackenzie Dauge, James Ibras and Bionte Heruo a ...
