Rabuka says the newly chosen SODELPA Vice President Vijay Singh and Lynda Tabuya have personally accepted the challenge in resigning from PDP and joining SODELPA.
He says they have come in with the basic and the real platform upon which SODELPA is run on.
Former PDP Leader Lynda Tabuya says they are glad to unite with SODELPA to fight the 2018 general elections.
Tabuya says they needed to rethink their strategies moving forward.
She says Pre‑elections coalitions is just not legally possible in the current election system.
