Fiji's Prime Minister said he wants elections to be held in Fiji in 2014 but a lot of work needs to be done and it is only realistic that there will be delays if there is continued obstruction and interference by countries like Australia and NZ.
Speaking to Fijivillage after arriving in Fiji earlier today, Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama stressed that he does not want to delay the elections but he said all the reforms have to be completed before Fiji has elections under a truly democratic system.
Commodore Bainimarama said he has been maintaining to the international community to support the government in bringing about changes that will benefit everyone in the country irrespective of their race or religion.
However he said things will take longer if support is not forthcoming.
The Prime Minister said a lot of work needs to be done and he said the government will not just relinquish power and allow to have elections with a weak foundation and under an undemocratic electoral system.
