The upcoming elections for the University of the South Pacific Students’ Association will be conducted by the Fijian Elections Office.
This has been confirmed by the Attorney General and Minister Responsible for Elections Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.
In a statement, Sayed-Khaiyum says the approval was granted following the USP Students’ Association request that the Fijian Elections Office carry out their student elections given the credibility and expertise the Fijian Elections Office demonstrated when successfully conducting the Fiji National University Student Union elections last year.
Sayed-Khaiyum has also called for transparency across all levels of Fijian society.
He says in our sporting bodies, parent-teacher associations, student unions, trade unions or any organisation anywhere in Fiji, we must have elections conducted in a transparent and accountable fashion that preserves public faith in our elected officials.
