Шаблон:Infobox legislative election Шаблон:Politics of Papua New Guinea
General elections were held in Papua New Guinea between 13 June and 4 July 1987.[1] The Pangu Party emerged as the largest party, winning 26 of the 109 seats. Voter turnout was 73.5%.
Results
None of the eighteen female candidates were elected, leading to the first all-male National Parliament in Papua New Guinea's history.[2]
Following the elections, all 22 elected independents joined parties, while two National Party MPs defected; the People's Democratic Movement (PDM) gained nine MPs, the People's Action Party eight, the People's Progress Party (PPP) five, and the Pangu Party and United Party one.[3] The three vacant seats were later won by the National Party, PDM and PPP.[4]
Aftermath
The newly elected Parliament met on 5 August to elect the Prime Minister. Incumbent Prime Minister Paias Wingti defeated former Prime Minister Michael Somare by a vote of 54 to 51.[5] Wingti formed a 25-member cabinet, with Minister of Education Aruru Matiabe also serving as Acting Foreign Minister due to the previous incumbent Ted Diro being accused of corruption during an ongoing inquiry.[6][5] Diro was instead appointed as a minister without portfolio.[6]
