The People's Alliance is hoping to secure more than 50 percent of the votes at the next general elections to form a government on its own, with its leader expressing confidence in the party's support.
Prime Minister and People's Alliance leader Sitiveni Rabuka says he is very confident in the support of his party as it prepares for the next general elections.
Rabuka says he has left the selection of candidates entirely to the party's selection committee.
He says the committee had given him the option of indicating whether he wanted his current 20 running mates to contest again, and he had expressed his wish for all of them to stand.
However, Rabuka says the candidates also have the option of stepping down if they feel they no longer wish to contest.
On the party's chances of securing enough votes to form a government on its own, Rabuka acknowledges that it did not receive more than 50 percent of the votes in the previous general election.
He says the party will have to work towards increasing its support and securing as many votes as possible.
Rabuka says if the People's Alliance manages to secure more than 50 percent of the votes, it would have the right to govern on its own.
