We did it. Time to get to work. Thanks to all of you for your support. More to come.

TOROAMA IS PRESIDENT ELECT

Ishmael Toroama has been elected the 4th President of the Autonomous region of Bougaianville, overnight.

Toroama had surpassed the absolute majority of 52,779 at around midnight, after third runner-up Peter Tsiamalili Junior was eliminated in Exclusion 23.

Mr Toroama was officially declared president-elect this morning by election officials.

Mr. Toroama is the leader of the Bougainville People's Alliance Party, one of five new political parties in this year's election.

He is not new to the presidential race, having contested a number of elections over the years.

Mr. Toroama had told his campaigns that "I am standing to be the change. The change people want, the change people can see and feel, the change people have been crying for, the change people expect to see and the change that has never happened during the course of the first three parliaments of Bougainville."

Mr. Toroama wants to address corruption, law and order, wants the government to be accountable, and above all, is proposing a two to three year timeline before Bougainville is independent from mainland Papua New Guinea.

Keep praying the true way will prevail.

UNOFFICIAL PROGRESSIVE TALLY - ABG PRESIDENTIAL SEAT
SEPTEMBER 14 2020 - COUNT 220

Ishmael Toroama continues to extend his lead as count 220 progresses through the Suir polling area. More than 3500 votes separate him and Simon Dumarinu in second place. In third place is Thomas Raivet, followed by Peter Tsiamalili and Fidelis Semoso.

Close to 124,000 ballots have been tallied so far and only 4 constituencies remain to be processed in the primary count. With an expected 30% increase of votes from the 2015 ABG general elections, the total number of votes is expected to be around 140,000. This would put the absolute majority after the primary count at about 70,000 votes.

In order for a candidate to be declared winner, they must achieve absolute majority plus one. If after the primary count, no candidate has achieved absolute majority, the candidate with the lowest amount of votes will be eliminated and their votes redistributed to the other indicated preferred candidates. A new absolute majority will then be determined after each round of eliminations. If no candidate achieves absolute majority the next candidate with the lowest votes will be eliminated. This process will continue until a candidate achieves absolute majority plus one.

As of count 220, the leading candidate, Ishmael Toroama holds 18% of the votes, Simon Dumarinu, 15% and Thomas Raivet 9%.

My friends and supporters, we have a long way to go until a new President is declared but please pray for our island that the right leader is duly elected with a true majority. I want to thank all of you for your votes and your confidence in my vision for our wonderful country. I also want to thank all of our dedicated scrutineers who were at the polling locations and who are now at the counting sites. Their watchful eyes have protected this election for you.

Keep praying and God Bless you all. Be safe and let us hope there is more good news to come.

I want to share something that encapsulates my feelings of our nation's past and its future during this historic moment and the challenging moments of greatness to come.

My father and I often said together, "God unleashes the power of war when it is time for WAR. God unleashes the power of reconciliation when it is time for peoples to reconcile. God will also unleash the strength for our countrymen to nation-build because that time has come. We are on our way."

The vote counting has begun and we are one step closer to having a decided leader of our new nation. I pray every day thanking God for giving us this opportunity and for giving you all the freedom to have participated in this historic election. I cannot be over confident but one thing I am confident of is of your spirit and support. Without you, the people, I would never have been able to go all the way to where we are right now. You, our island and all of its people are my strength and the air that I breathe, the water that I drink. We must pray that God takes us all the way so that our platform and way forward is the chosen way, the most trusted way.

I am so immensely proud of all of you and I want to thank you for your votes, encouragement and unwavering loyalty. The fight is NOT over yet. There is more to come so do not lay down. We must still persevere and be alert and vocal. We must not let our efforts, sweat and tears be for nothing.

Stay strong, be safe and God Bless!!!

Now we wait...

This historic election is just about closed to voting and the counting will begin next week. Let us all pray and put trust in the election commission that this vote count will be conducted in an honorable and trustworthy fashion. That is what WE ALL deserve.

I am proud of our island and all you out there who traveled to the polls and voted, no matter who you voted for it is important to exercise your God given RIGHT to choose your own leadership.

Let us take a poll here - Who do YOU think will come away as the victor in this historic event for our island and our people?

Our future depends on these next 2 weeks. Let us hope and pray that corruption does not interfere with our system like it always has before.

God Bless and Stay Safe.

Please, I urge you to exercise your right to vote so that we may advance our country and move into the modern era without the worry of corruption and outside forces against us.

Whatever the outcome is of the election, I pray that the interests of us all are the first priority. Thank you my people, I love you all and I love our country.

God Bless and get out there and VOTE!!!!

ALERT:

My people - As I predicted there has been voting fraud, abuse, tampering and criminal activity. I will post what we found and are investigating shortly. It is quite serious.

I urge you all to visit the polling stations even if you have already voted and report anything suspicious. We must ensure the voice of the people is heard, and not allow a few corrupt officials to steal the election! Remember our Fourth Generation! All that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.

Keep up the fight for what is yours!

Go vote if you have not already.

WE ARE A WEEK AWAY FROM VOTING!!!! CHECK BOX 22 AS #1

ELECTRICITY
ROADS
INTERNET

These are three things that will become a reality when I am PRESIDENT.
You can work from your village and provide for your family in new, more modern methods than harvesting gold and coconuts (we need that too). All of these elements will combine to provide opportunity to US ALL!!!

Electricity and roads will finally bring Bogenvil into the modern age, but only when the internet is available to EVERY ONE OF US will we truly join the rest of the world as equals. For improved broadband services, PNG Dataco has recently connected Bougainville to the PNG mainland via the Kumul Submarine Cable, an undersea fiber optic cable; the cable landing station is in Arawa. By stringing their wires on the poles we will install for our hydroelectric power company, we will use their wholesale service in every village in Bogenvil.

This is how our future and the children will evolve and get where they need to be!

GO VOTE NEXT WEEK AND CHECK 22 22 22 !!!!!

God Bless and Stay Safe My People!
