Melanesian Alliance Party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Melanesian Alliance Party is a political party in Papua New Guinea. The party was co-founded by John Momis and John Kaputin in the late 1970s.[1] At the last legislative elections, 15-29 June 2002, the party is said to have won 3 of 109 seats. The party won only 1 seat of the 109 seats in the recent 2007 General Elections. Dame Carol Kidu is therefore its only representative in Parliament.[2]
