Notes
^ The Supreme Court declared the election of Chimbu Provincial MP Louis Ambane to be void on 5 October 1998. Ambane won the resulting by-election in 1999.[ 4] [ 5]
^ a b In July 1997, Finschhafen Open MP Yaip Avini lost a Supreme Court appeal against a November 1996 criminal conviction for misappropriation and was sentenced to eight years in prison. He had been permitted to recontest his seat at the 1997 election two weeks before due to his outstanding appeal. Alfred Pogo won the resulting by-election in September 1998.[ 6] [ 7] [ 8]
^ a b The National Court declared the election of Wabag Open MP David Basua to be void on 30 June 1999. A by-election was held in March 1999, and Charles Miru Luta , the successful petitioner against Basua, was declared to have been elected on 28 March. Basua lodged a petition against the by-election result, and on 16 July 1999 the National Court invalidated Luta's election, and mandated a recount including ballot boxes left out of the original tally. Basua was subsequently declared the winner of the recount and declared elected.[ 9] [ 10]
^ a b Gazelle Open MP Nakikus Konga resigned in 2000. Sinai Brown won the resulting by-election in July 2000.[ 19]
^ a b c Pomio Open MP Alois Koki died in August 2000. Francis Koimanrea , Koki's brother and the member for East New Britain Provincial, resigned his own seat to contest the resulting by-election, which he won in December 2000. Leo Dion won the simultaneous by-election for Koimanrea's old seat.[ 16] [ 17] [ 18]
^ a b Yangoru-Saussia Open MP Gabriel Dusava was dismissed by a leadership tribunal on 17 October 1997 for misconduct in his prior role of Foreign Affairs Secretary. Dusava unsuccessfully appealed, and in 2000 Bernard Hagoria was declared to have been elected without a by-election following a recount of votes from the 1997 election.[ 11] [ 12]
^ Madang Provincial MP Jim Kas was dismissed from office after being found guilty of misconduct by a leadership tribunal on 27 September 2000. A by-election was not held before the 2002 election .[ 13]
^ a b The Supreme Court declared the election of Wabag Open MP Takai Kapi to be void on 1 April 1998 as he was found to have not been enrolled in his electorate. Daniel Kapi won the resulting by-election in 1999.[ 14] [ 15]
^ a b West New Britain Provincial MP Bernard Vogae died on 5 March 2000. Clement Nakmai won the resulting by-election.[ 22] [ 23]
^ The National Court declared the election of Kainantu Open MP Baki Reipa to be void on 17 July 1998. Reipa won the resulting by-election in July 1999.[ 20] [ 21]
