East Sepik · General Election 2027
John Slio
Dujambi
Build it in the district.
Mechanical engineer, Unitech lecturer, and the candidate who has already published a Yangoru-Saussia plan: solar cocoa driers, tap water, rural power, roads that get maintained, and a polytechnic that trains people here.
Yangoru-Saussia Open
Engineer
Ok Tedi, then eighteen years teaching mechanical engineering at Unitech.
Appropriate technology
Driers, pavement, brick and processing that the district can build and maintain.
2017
Stood for Lae Open, box 18, on manufacturing, housing, roads and water.
2022
Put the Yangoru-Saussia plan in writing, in his own name.
The plan
Twelve things he has already put on the record.
Published in June 2022 for Yangoru-Saussia. Tap up to three, in the order you want them done first. The order stays on this device.
Nothing picked yet. Your first tap becomes number one.
Solar cocoa driers
A higher-quality solar drier for every clan and cocoa group.
Target capacity is 40 to 60 bags a week from each drier, so groups can sell drier, cleaner cocoa instead of losing quality to rain. The driers are appropriate technology: built for the district, not a one-off import.
Tap water
A water supply, and a tap, for every home or hamlet.
Village water is treated as infrastructure, not a favour. The plan is household taps, not a single standpipe that the furthest hamlet never reaches.
Rural power
Grid power where it can reach, solar micro-grids where it cannot.
A combined grid and solar micro-grid, so cocoa driers, schools and small processing sheds are not waiting on a line that stops at the highway.
Roads that get maintained
Appropriate-technology pavement for rural roads, and a district business arm on the highway.
Rural roads get a local pavement method, not a promise of bitumen that never arrives. A Yangoru-Saussia DDA business arm would take the Nagam to Warabung section of the Sepik Highway and partner with investors on the Sepik Plains.
Brick and clay roofs
Local brick and clay roof tiles for houses that last.
Sustainable home construction from materials the district can make, so families are not locked into imported roofing every few seasons.
Three schools of excellence
Early childhood, then a lift in the schools that already exist.
Early childhood education across the district, and three schools of excellence: one at Wingei, one at Kubalia, and one at Yangoru absorbed into Yangoru Secondary.
Central Sepik Polytechnic
Train the trades here, for the work that will be here.
A polytechnic in the district to produce technical manpower for downstream processing, so young people are not told that a trade only exists in Lae or Port Moresby.
Sepik Plains land
Customary land returned, and a 20 percent free-carry for landowners.
Land on the Sepik Plain that was taken by force goes back to the customary owners. Business deals are renegotiated so landowners hold a 20 percent free-carry, not a signature and a promise.
A real sporting path
Every code organised, with a feeder into Sepik Pride and the national league.
Sporting codes in the district coordinated properly, so a player in a ward has a path into Sepik Pride, the National Soccer League, and the other codes — not only a one-off tournament.
Sago and smallholder flour
Processing for sago, and flour from yam, taro and mami.
Sago processing technology, plus smallholder equipment so subsistence farmers can start yam flour, taro flour, mami flour and other downstream products. The crop stays, and the value stays.
Officers in every LLG
Two agriculture officers and two business officers in each local-level government.
Government services you can actually find: two agriculture extension officers and two business development officers posted to each LLG, not a single officer covering the whole district from a town desk.
A network that works
Communications upgraded so internet reaches the work.
Upgrade the communication network for internet. Cocoa groups, schools and the polytechnic cannot run on a signal that dies past the station.
Limited preferential
Write 1, 2 and 3. A tick is not a vote.
- 1
Your first choice. For this campaign, that is John Slio Dujambi.
- 2
If your first is excluded, the whole vote moves here. It is not a half-vote.
- 3
If the second is also out, the vote moves again. Then it stops.

First preferences
Nobody has more than half of 10,000 formal votes, so the lowest candidate drops out.

Made-up numbers, so you can watch a second preference move. This is not a result from 2017, 2022, or any other count.
