We will defend the constitution and any party that forms the next government.
That’s the assurance of the Army Commander, Brigadier General Mosese Tikoitoga to the people of Fiji.
Brigadier General Tikoitoga also stresses that any changes to the constitution requires the support of 75% of MP’s in parliament and 75% of the total number of registered voters.
He said this needs to be made clear by the political parties who have started to say that they will change the 2013 constitution.
Brigadier General Tikoitoga also clarifies that he never told The Age newspaper that the military will not allow any changes to the constitution.
The Social Democratic Liberal Party, the Fiji Labour Party, the National Federation Party and the People’s Democratic Party have said they will look at amendments to the constitution if they form the next government.
We will elaborate on this later.
