According to ABC Australia Liam Fox's report from Papua New Guinea, as of last night, Papua New Guinea has two legitimate Prime Ministers. Yesterday (12 December, 2011) the Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea ruled that there has never been a vacancy of the Prime Minister's position while Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare was in Singapore receiving medical treating for his heart condition, and the election of Mr Peter O'Niell as PNG's Prime Minister by the PNG Parliament on August 2, 2011 was unconsitutional. The country is waiting for the Governor General Sir Michael Ogio to swear in either Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare or Mr Peter O'Neill as PNG's legitimate Prime Minister to break the deadlock as the power struggle continues.
