The Coalition for Reform Party is a political party in Papua New Guinea.
It was established in March 2012 by Joseph Lelang, then the former Secretary for National Planning and Monitoring.[2] It won two seats at the 2012 election: Lelang won Kandrian-Glouster Open, while Sasindran Muthuvel became the first Indian-born MP in Papua New Guinea in winning West New Britain Provincial. The party supported Belden Namah against Prime Minister Peter O'Neill and subsequently went into opposition.[3][4] Muthevel resigned from the party and crossed to the governing People's National Congress in March 2013, while Lelang remains a member.[5][6]
As of September 2019, Lelang had left the party and joined the National Alliance.
