Isn't that the way it was expected to go Treedaddy? O'Neill was predicted to get somewhere between 25-30 seats in his party, Namah and Duma were also predicted to win fairly easily. Namah's PNG party is carrying about as many seats as expected but I think Duma's party was expected to carry more seats. Somare is doing better than expected. In the end I think Namah will be forced to honor the pre-election coalition agreement and Duma's party weakness may make it easier to bypass him as DPE minister. We should know a lot in the next 2 weeks.
