PORT MORESBY — Papua New Guinea's parliament elected Peter O'Neill as prime minister of the South Pacific island on Friday, ending a bitter, yearlong power struggle between the new leader and his predecessor that plunged the country into political chaos. O'Neill, the only nominee, was elected by 94 votes to 12. Last month, his former leadership rival and political veteran, Sir Michael Somare, threw his support behind O'Neill's People's National Congress party, which won the general election. — AP
