SODELPA Women's Forum Vice President Tanya Waqanika

SODELPA Women's Forum Vice President Tanya Waqanika has confirmed that she will be running again in the 2022 national elections.

While confirming her stand in the next election, Waqanika says she will be running under the SODELPA banner because she does not jump ship.

She believes that SODELPA is the only political party that will protect the rights of the iTaukei people.

She says she has been through three coups in the country and people are now seeing its impact.

Waqanika adds coups jeopardize the rule of law.
