Ousted Opposition leader Mick Beddoes has told the Australian media that the 1997 constitution is likely to be thrown out by the Interim Government soon, if proposed changes put forward by them are not accepted by the people.
Beddoes told ABC news, that there are rumours that if there is no support for the changes he wants to make, like the Electoral Reform and the proposed Draft People's Charter, then Interim Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama will likely abrogate the 1997 Constitution, so that the changes can be implemented.
Interim Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama has refused to comment on the matter when contacted today.
However, Interim Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said it's unfortunate for Mick Beddoes to make such speculative comments.
Khaiyum refused to comment further, when questioned whether there is a possibility that the Constitution could be abrogated.
The National Federation Party wrote a letter to President Ratu Josefa Iloilo to dismiss the Interim regime as well as ousted Speaker Pita Nacuva.
There has been no reply from the President's office.
