About this time five years ago Prime Minister James Marape resigned as Finance Minister serving then Prime Minister Peter O'Neill.
Mr O'Neill was on an official trip to New Ireland when the unexpected happened.
This time Marape's key general and Finschaffen MP Renbo Paita has defected from Marape's government.
A move Marape described as dissenting to the decorum of his Cabinet and he will decommission Paita.
The other fellow Morobe MP and a Cabinet Minister who will be decommissioned as well is Dr Kobby Bomareo, the member for Tewai Siassi and Minister for Housing.
Political commentators are confident that there will be a new government elected during this sitting of Parliament but unfazed Prime Minister James Marape says he is not resigning and Prime Minister's are changed by voting on the floor of Parliament.
He said a strong 41 Pangu Pati MPs are with him and have communicated to him their allegiance.
Pangu Pati won 38 seats post 2022 National General Elections and was invited by the Governor General Sir Bob Dadae to form government.
Morobe province had the most number of Pangu MPs elected to this Parliament term.
