Papua New Guinea’s security budget for the 2027 National General Elections has almost doubled to K442 million, according to Police Commissioner David Manning. This substantial increase is attributed to several factors, including a growing population and an expanded number of electorates across Papua New Guinea. The increased funding will also support a larger deployment of a joint security force tasked with maintaining peace and order during the election period.
