Outspoken Political leader and Bulolo MP Sam Basil's Pangu Party has agreed to join forces with two other political parties for 2017 general election. The People’s Progress Party, Pangu and Melanesian Alliance agreed in Kavieng on Wednesday to work together in an effort to form the next government. Kavieng MP and People’s Progress Party leader Ben Micah, who spearheaded the gathering, said it was done with the interest of the New Ireland people. “The merger is of all the party supporters at the provincial and district level,” he said yesterday. “It’s a very significant move which I believe will reshape the political landscape of New Ireland. “The leaders of all these groups have agreed that future politics should not be personality-focused but issue-focused.” Micah said New Ireland had a small population of about 180,000 with vast resources, but could make up for this by being “smart”. “Being smart means to recognise that factionalising a small population only creates disharmony, disunity,” he said.
