Fiji: New party enters arena

Another proposed party is expected to enter the political scene ahead of Fiji’s September 17 election.

Proposed One Fiji Party spokesperson and volunteer, Laisa Digitaki, says it is made up of members who hope to “reclaim Fiji and her peoples true spirit of love back to the hearts of all Fiji citizens”.

The proposed party, she further says, seeks to elect an honourable and competent generation of leaders to Fiji’s parliament with the sole purpose of bringing together all Fiji citizens.

“The sprit of one source, one people, one Fiji can be manifested through these new breed of Fiji leaders who possess and exercise servanthood leadership principles based on love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control,” Digitaki said.

The proposed party is currently collecting and vetting members signatures from across Fiji before they apply for registration with the Political Parties Registrar.

To date, five political parties have been registered so far and they are FijiFirst, Fiji Labour Party (FLP), National Federation Party (NFP), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the Social Democratic Liberal Party (SODELPA).
