Polye led the faction of Somare's NA Party that overthrew Somare last August and has been in O'Neill's govt since then so I'm not sure how he could be part of a group that is threatening to put him too in jail. Though I'm sure weirder things have happened in PNG.

Latest results show O'Neill continues strong with victories in 4 races and leading now in 22 others. Polye's THE party is having a strong showing and Somare's National Alliance has stagnated and is still winning just 7 races and those are almost all in his home territory. O'Neill has a very broad support. Kavo has widened his lead also:

The National article with O'Neill saying the coalition intact is not real convincing. Hopefully this is the case (that coalition is staying together). Namah is a question mark. He almost has no choice however as the Polye-Somare group has said they will press for enforcing the Supreme Court "violations" against O'Neill and Namah and the rest who supported them. This could cement things for O'Neill as the majority he had during the "storms" last year appears to be largely in place.
By mid-week next week we should have a good read on what's happening.
