Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister James Marape sworn in for a second term, after an election hit by violence and alleged corruption that also ended a five-year absence of women in parliament.
Marape was sworn in as prime minister for a second time on Tuesday after legislators in the new parliament returned him unopposed to the post.
Marape, the leader of the Pangu Party that clinched 36 seats, won 97 votes on the floor of parliament to become prime minister and will form a coalition government with more than a dozen minor parties and independents.
