The PP's incumbent leader, Nirtyam Am'mayi, ran for re-election unopposed, with the support of all Commissioners and factions. As no other candidates ran, the race featured a record-low turnout of just 2% of eligible party members and "registered affiliates" (non-members choosing to vote only in the PP's primary).
