Pan Melanesian Congress

The Pan Melanesian Congress was a political party in Papua New Guinea.

It was established in late 2001 by Karimui-Nomane MP Simeon Wai, with Wai as parliamentary leader, Privatization Commission chairman and former MP Ben Micah as party president, and future MP Nixon Duban as president of its student wing.

[1][2] The party sought "full political, economic and social integration of the Melanesian nations by the year 2025", with a Melanesian federation along the lines of the European Union, with "a common currency, a Melanesian parliament and common policies on environment protection, resource development, foreign affairs, security and defence".

Middle Fly MP Bitan Kuok also stood for re-election in 2002 as a PMC candidate, while Micah resigned from the Privatization Commission in order to nominate as a candidate.

[6] It still remained on the list of registered parties for the 2012 election, which it did not contest, and was formally deregistered in August 2015.
