Kokopo Open electorate needs an infusion of new people with different experiences and fresh perspectives to make necessary decisions that are vital for leading the electorate forward.

This is what candidate Emil Tammur believes in and pursues for the people.

Mr Tammur had contested in the previous election in 2012, finishing as runner-up to Governor Ereman ToBaining Jr.

Coming from a political background, Tammur’s father Oscar was the first MP for Kokopo and founding father of the Mataungan Association, which fought for issues for the province in his time.

Leading in the legacy of their father was older son Patrick, who successfully contested the Kokopo seat and held it until his untimely death.

Emil Tammur is an accountant by profession who had ventured into other businesses and voluntarily participated in community activities and has a greater passion to address some of the realities and challenges in his electorate.

“I will make those tough decisions, making Kokopo once again an electorate where people can afford to live, where businesses can thrive and create opportunities to prosper.

“We need to promote a healthy economy to provide decent jobs with a future.”

Mr Tammur said he will use his experience and knowledge in a balanced approach to governance, no secret meetings and no pet projects.

He is endorsed by People’s Progress Party.
