The election for a new Speaker of Parliament is scheduled for December 2, 2024. This follows the official vacancy created by Tui Cakau’s appointment as the new President of the Republic of Fiji Islands, effective November 12. Until November 11, Ratu Naiqama will continue to fulfill the responsibilities of the Speaker.

During the parliamentary session on December 2, both Government and Opposition members will present their nominations, culminating in a vote to select the new Speaker. This process highlights the democratic principles at play within the Fijian political system, allowing for collaboration and input from multiple factions.

As the country prepares for this transition, it reflects an opportunity for fresh leadership and perspectives in the Parliament. The upcoming election could usher in new initiatives and strengthen democratic representation in Fiji.
