Prime Minister James Marape has described the departure of 18 Members of Parliament, including five ministers from the Pangu Pati last night as a 'blessing in disguise'.
He says this is a blessing in disguise, so that some of the excess fat in government is trimmed to create a lean and coherent government.
Prime Minister Marape has asked Papua New Guineans to respect their choice of trading and thank them for being part of his government while wishing them well.
He says this is a play for a Vote of No Confidence and wish them well to assemble an alternative team and a policy series that is better than Pangu and its coalition team.
The alternate government has nominated the Governor for East Sepik, Allan Bird as the alternate Prime Minister in the February parliament sitting when the last motion was filed.
Prime Minister Marape says 41 Pangu members and coalition MPs have called him to show support.
Meantime, Parliament will resume on Tuesday where the alternate team is expected to file a motion of vote of No Confidence in the Prime Minister.
And on Wednesday, the Private Members Committee will convene to deliberate on the motion.
