Papua election on June 28

JAYAPURA, Papua: The Papua Governor and elections commission have agreed to hold direct elections for regional government heads in the province on June 28.

The elections of all 13 regional heads would be held on the same day to ensure people didn't move between electorates and cast their ballot papers twice, General Election Commission (KPUD) chief Musa'ad said on Friday. -- JP
