The People's First Party (also known as the People First Party, Pipol First Party or Pipol's First Party) is a political party in Papua New Guinea. It was established in August 2001 by Morobe Province governor Luther Wenge. Wenge was re-elected at the 2002 election and elected for Okapa Open. Amukele attempted to defect to the governing National Alliance Party of Michael Somare, resulting in protests from Wenge; however, this did not occur after Wenge agreed to support Somare. In September 2002, the party won a Supreme Court declaration that legislation introducing a value added tax was unconstitutional. A reported merger with the United Party in October 2002 did not proceed, with the party reported to still have two MPs at that time: Wenge and Amukele.

  • Le Parti pour le peuple d'abord (en anglais, People First Party ; en tok pisin, Pipol First Pati), souvent appelé aussi et peut-être par mégarde « Premier parti du peuple » (People's First Party, Pipol's First Pati), est un parti politique en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée. Le parti est fondé en juillet 2001 par Luther Wenge et Peter Honale. Il est dirigé par Luther Wenge, le gouverneur de la province de Morobe, jusqu'à la défaite de celui-ci aux élections de 2012. Il devient alors moribond, jusqu'à ce qu'en 2021 le député (en) rejoigne le parti et en devienne le chef. Le Parti pour le peuple d'abord place Dieu comme référence et valeur suprême. Il promeut par ailleurs des investissements dans le secteur agricole pour améliorer les revenus de la population rurale et réduire les dépenses dues aux importations ; de réserver certains secteurs de l'économie aux citoyens du pays, mais encourager dans le même temps les investissements productifs ; de créer à cet effet des zones franches et des parcs industriels ; et d'apporter des aides financières aux petites et moyennes entreprises dans l'espoir d'en accroître le nombre. Il se définit comme un parti « nationaliste et patriote ». (fr)

A reported merger with the United Party in October 2002 did not proceed, with the party reported to still have two MPs at that time: Wenge and Amukele. In March 2004, Wenge called for the resignation of Somare, alleging mishandling of the nation's affairs, and stated that he was willing to become Prime Minister. However, the party continued to support the Somare government in parliament. Wenge was the party's only MP to be elected at the 2007 election. Wenge claimed, following the declaration of his seat in a close race against businessman Bob Sinclair, that he would introduce a law to restrict naturalised citizens from contesting elections because Papua New Guinea was "a black country and not white country". Wenge lost his seat at the 2012 election, and the party has not had parliamentary representation since. The party is registered to contest the 2017 election. (en)
