Counting of the official results of the Papua New Guinean general election to elect members of the 2007-2012 National Parliament, held from 30 June 2007 to 14 July 2007, was largely completed by 6 August, the deadline for the return of writs. Counting in two seats was delayed for a further few days due to court challenges. The previous deadline was 30 July, but this was extended due to delays caused by bad weather and disruption of counting by some candidates and scrutineers. The new Parliament first sat on Monday 13 August, electing Jeffrey Nape as Speaker and Sir Michael Somare as Prime Minister.
