Papua New Guinea s opposition has tabled another parliamentary motion of no confidence against Prime minister James Marape.

The opposition has listed Ialibu-Pangia MP and former prime minister Peter O Neill as nominee to replace Mr Marape.
This comes after the National Alliance party leader, Patrick Pruaitch who was the opposition s initial nominee, moved to the government.
The motion has to be approved by parliament s private business committee before proceeding to a confidence vote.
Last December, parliament adjourned before the opposition s planned motion of no confidence against Marape could be tabled.
