Results of the Papua New Guinean general election, 2007

Counting of the official results of the Papua New Guinean general election to elect members of the 2007–2012 National Parliament, held from 30 June 2007 to 14 July 2007, was largely completed by 6 August, the deadline for the return of writs. Counting in two seats was delayed for a further few days due to court challenges. The previous deadline was 30 July [ [http://www.pngec.gov.pg PNG Electoral Commission electoral timetable] , retrieved on 30 July 2007.] , but this was extended due to delays caused by bad weather and disruption of counting by some candidates and scrutineers. cite news|publisher= [http://www.postcourier.com.pg/ Post Courier Online] |url=http://www.postcourier.com.pg/20070730/news01.htm |title=25 to NA|accessdate=2007-07-30 ]
