The tiny, troubled island of Bougainville has a new president, John Momis, after an election at which over three-quarters of incumbent mps lost their seats. This was the second election for the autonomous government on Bougainville, an arrangement agreed on as part of a peace deal that ended a decade of civil war on the island in 1997- That deal is scheduled to culminate in a vote on independence from Papua New Guinea (png), to be held sometime between 2015 and 2020.
