Opposition Leader Inia Seruiratu has been appointed as Party Leader of the People First Party, while Parveen Bala Kumar will be the Deputy Party Leader.

In a statement, the party says both leaders are seasoned figures in Fiji’s political landscape, bringing extensive experience in governance, policy development, and organisational leadership.

They say their appointments reflect the party’s commitment to strong, principled leadership and a vision of unity as Fiji navigates critical times.

They also say they are confident their newly appointed leaders will guide the People First Party with wisdom, compassion, and vision.

The People First Party was registered as Fiji’s newest political party in January this year after the Registrar of Political Parties, Ana Mataiciwa, approved the party’s application submitted on 20th November 2025.
