He says they hope the appeal process and hearing will proceed to address issues concerning the former FijiFirst Party and the possibility of reviving the party.

Seruiratu says if the appeal is successful, they will need to determine what steps are required to address the issues raised by the Supervisor of Elections, particularly those concerning disciplinary matters, party structure, leadership, and internal processes.

Seruiratu also acknowledged, with respect, the founding members of FijiFirst and the former leader, noting that there were specific reasons behind the party’s structure and constitution.

The Opposition Leader says as a new team, they have learned from the previous set-up and recognise the need to improve and simplify processes to move forward effectively.
