A party can form government if they win 28 seats or more.
If no one reaches the 28 seats on their own, then we expect negotiations between parties to form a coalition government.
Parties that qualify to be in parliament need to receive 5 percent of the total votes in the elections.
Based on the current count and the percentage of votes received - the projected seats for the FijiFirst is 25, People’s Alliance 22, National Federation Party 5 and SODELPA 3. These projections will change as more votes come in from polling stations. Please note this is a projection based on the votes counted so far.
The results are out for 271 of 731 polling stations in the Central Division, 155 out of 222 stations in the Eastern Division, 178 out of 391 polling stations in the Northern Division, 3 out 16 stations for postal votes and 446 out of 711 stations in the Western Division.
