Bougainville Labour Party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bougainville Labour Party (BLP) is a political party in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea.
It was established ahead of the inaugural 2005 election by lawyer Thomas Tamusio and philosopher Albert Toro.[1][2] The party endorsed Bougainville People's Congress candidate Joseph Kabui for the presidency, with party president Peter Nerau opting to contest the Baubake constituency in the Bougainville House of Representatives.[3] It was reported in July 2014 that New Bougainville Party MP John Ken would relaunch and lead the party into the 2015 election, but this did not occur.[4] Nick F. Peniai was the party's unsuccessful candidate for the Bougainville presidency at the 2015 election.[5]
