Deadly election‑related violence is continuing in Papua New Guinea's Enga province, with 22 people now confirmed dead.

Enga police commander George Kakas says his officers are attempting to speak with tribesman connected to ousted former Opposition leader Don Polye and the new MP for Kandep Open Alfred Manase who have taken up what appear to be military assault weapons.

Those negotiations will continue today, but until then, Kakas says there is no sign of the fighting slowing down.
