Fiji will have a new system to elect the country's president in the new constitution.

Under the 1997 Constitution, the appointing authority was the Great Council of Chiefs.

With the de-establishment of the GCC, Fijivillage questioned Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama how the president will be appointed.

We asked him whether this would pave the way for Fijians to elect their president.

Commodore Bainimarama said that whatever happens, the GCC will definitely not be the appointing body as it no longer exists.
