The Fijian Elections Office has this morning directed the National Federation Party to remove a billboard or campaign material that has been placed outside of its headquarters at 124 Princes Road given that the area is a Road Reserve making it a public place.

The FEO has noted that the area in which the billboard is set up is not an approved designated area for placement of campaign materials and therefore, NFP has accordingly been directed to remove it and they have been given until 4pm this Friday to do so failing which the Supervisor of Elections will consider further action according to the Electoral Act 2014.
