National Federation Party Leader, Professor Biman Prasad says the NFP wants to be the biggest party in Parliament and they will fight for every vote in the next general elections.

He says they are also confident that the FijiFirst Party will not win.

Prasad also confirms they will work with major opposition parties to form the next government and adds opposition parties have to work smart to win the next election and they do not need to form one party to win the election.

He says if Party A gets 40% of the vote, it is likely to get 22 seats and if Party B gets 20% of the vote, it will likely end up with 11 seats and then they can get together to form the Government. Prasad says they believe this will happen.

The NFP Leader also states that it is small parties who could upset the opposition’s plans because if a small party does not get 5% of the vote, its votes may not matter when the seat numbers are decided.

Prasad says if the 12,500 votes of Unity Fiji, HOPE and Fiji Labour Party had gone to NFP or SODELPA in the 2018 elections, Fiji would have had a SODELPA-NFP Government.

The NFP Leader says he is not criticising small parties but is just pointing out the hard electoral maths of the 2018 election.
