Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka

Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka says SODELPA is free to go and form a coalition with the FijiFirst but they must first break the current agreement.

Rabuka made these comments when asked about the SODELPA Working Group option for the management board to approve talks with the FijiFirst.

Rabuka also says he was not in SODELPA when asked for his comments on former SODELPA Management Board Vice President, Anare Jale saying that Aseri Radrodro was pushing multiple times for SODELPA to join the FijiFirst after the 2022 general elections.

Rabuka says the coalition is still unable to find out who apart from the opposition voted against the motion for him to be the Prime Minister on Christmas Eve in 2022, as it was a secret ballot.

He also says he has no expectations from today’s SODELPA Management Board meeting, as the party will have it’s own discussions.
