Combined general/presidential election page

For all the other Bougainvillean elections there are separate pages for the general and presidential elections. I know this is a common practice for elections, but I simply do not think there is enough information out there to make both pages fleshed out without either duplicated content or two stubs. Therefore, I have included the 2005 presidential election on this page and will add a redirect from that page to the relevant section of this one. If someone disagrees please let me know. Also it would be fantastic if anyone can find the official election results (or just any detailed breakdown of results). And any accessible reliable sources besides RNZ.

TBH the other articles should probably be merged – I don't see enough content to justify a split and for many countries we have a single article covering both. Cheers, Number 5 7 23:51, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly agree, thanks for making the change. GeorgmentO (talk) 08:10, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
