Natatok Indigenous People's Democratic Party

History

The NIPDP was founded in July 2011 as a re-establishment of a party that contested the 1979 elections.[1] In the 2012 elections the party nominated six candidates, winning two of the 52 seats in Parliament; Alfred Rollen Carlot in Efate and Jonas James in Paama.[2] The party was given a ministerial post in the government formed by Moana Carcasses Kalosil in March 2013.[1]

In the 2016 elections the party fielded ten candidates,[3] but was reduced to a single seat, Alickson Vira winning in Ambae.[4]

gollark: No, still stupid. Yes, you can not know things and that is fine. But not looking up relevant safety information (or ignoring it? If I remember right, that person was not very receptive to people saying that they were doing stupid things) when doing something you can quite easily recognize as potentially dangerous is stupid.
gollark: I would consider mishandling radioactive material, or trolling about it, very stupid.
