Ousted Papua New Guinea prime minister, Peter O'Neill, has declined a ministerial portfolio in the government of his successor.

NBC News reported that the new Prime Minister, James Marape, revealed during last week's swearing-in of his caretaker Cabinet that Mr O'Neill was approached but had turned down the offer.
Mr Marape said Mr O'Neill had every opportunity to be back in cabinet in various capacities but he respectfully declined so that a new-look government can be formed.
