O'Neill re-elected PNG PM

Peter O'Neill was re-elected yesterday the next leader of Papua New Guinea, ending a turbulent period in the nation's politics which at one point saw it with two rival prime ministers.
O'Neill won the vote on the floor of parliament 94 to 12 after elections handed him the overwhelming support of the Pacific island nation's lawmakers, his spokesman Daniel Korimbao told AFP from the capital Port Moresby.
An AFP photographer confirmed that O'Neill was sworn in by Governor-General Michael Ogio later yesterday.
O'Neill's People's National Congress (PNC) won more seats than any other party in the polls which began on June 23 and he was able to swell support by forming partnerships with smaller parties.
