One candidate has registered to contest the West Baegu Ward by-election so far, with only eight days remaining before the close of the nomination period.
The nomination period for the West Baegu election started on February 18 and will end on March 4.
Election Manager of Malaita Province, Peter Herehura, said his officers are expecting other candidates who wish to register for the upcoming election to do so this week or next week.
He said that the intending candidates should come early to complete their registration to avoid last-minute registration.
“It could be better if the candidates could come early to do their registration to avoid registering at the last minute and missing the deadline for registration,” he said.
He said any candidates wishing to register to contest the seat must have all the required documents.
He also said the candidates must have three nominees, be registered in the West Baegu ward, be registered in the wards in Malaita Province, be over the age of 21, and pay a registration fee of $2,500.
The election day for West Baegu, ward 5, is April 15.
