Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, leader of the People’s Alliance, has confirmed that he continues to receive strong support from coalition partners, the Social Democratic Liberal Party (SODELPA) and the National Federation Party (NFP). This statement follows the recent swearing-in of three new Ministers and three new Assistant Ministers, an event that was preceded by securing approvals from both coalition parties.

Rabuka’s assurance of coalition strength was echoed by Viliame Takayawa, the General Secretary of SODELPA, who noted that the coalition remains solid and unified, despite declining to elaborate on specific details. Similarly, the NFP reiterated their unwavering commitment to the coalition government, underlining the importance of ongoing collaborative efforts among the political parties involved.

The backdrop of these affirmations is a prevailing sense of unity within the coalition as they navigate significant challenges facing Fiji. Deputy Prime Minister Manoa Kamikamica and other cabinet members have voiced strong support for Rabuka, emphasizing the coalition’s stability and dedication to addressing long-term issues affecting the nation.

Looking ahead, Prime Minister Rabuka is set to visit New Zealand for discussions with the Prime Minister and to participate in Fiji Day celebrations. He will also play a pivotal role in the upcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa, reinforcing the coalition’s commitment to a prosperous future for all Fijians, especially the youth.

In summary, the coalition’s resilience is notable as political leaders express confidence in their collective strength during these pivotal times. With a focus on collaboration and the pursuit of solutions for pressing national concerns, there is a hopeful outlook for the future governance of Fiji.
