Bryan Jared Kramer is a Papua New Guinea politician and Member of the 10th and 11th Parliament of Papua New Guinea. Formerly a member of the Pangu Party, he founded the Allegiance Party, of which he was the sole MP, in 2018. He ran nine candidates in the 2022 National Elections, including one in each of Madang's seven electorates.[1] Kramer was returned with a sizeable majority, but was unsuccessful in securing the election of another Party member.[2] He was suspended from office on 30 September 2022 pending the outcomes of a leadership tribunal.[3] On Tuesday 28 February 2023 the three-man bench unanimously found Kramer guilty of seven counts against him. A three-man bench recommended dismissal for two counts of "scandalising the judiciary" and fines totalling K10,000 (USD3,000) for five counts related to use of district funds.[4] Kramer was dismissed from office by the Governor General on 24 May 2023. He will not be able to re-contest an election for five years, allowing him to compete in the 2032 election. A by-election for Madang Open will be held in 2024.
After almost four years Kramer's flagship project, the refurbishment of just over 5km of Madang town's Modilon Road, remains unfinished.
