More than 800 days have passed since the People’s Alliance launched its ambitious 100-day manifesto aimed at advancing Fiji’s economic, social, governance, and sustainability objectives. Prime Minister and Party Leader Sitiveni Rabuka has highlighted various achievements in areas such as legislative reform, poverty alleviation, and infrastructure enhancement.
Despite these accomplishments, the promised local government elections, which were to be held within the first 12 months, have yet to take place, raising questions about the party’s ability to deliver on its commitments. Rabuka acknowledged the challenges faced by the government, stating, “We are doing a lot but there is still more to be done.” He urged people to remember that previous generations navigated life without the infrastructure modern society demands.
As Fiji approaches the 2026 General Election, set to occur between December 2026 and February 2027, the People’s Alliance must demonstrate tangible results in fulfilling its manifesto pledges. Rabuka has emphasized the need for effective communication and reiterated the importance of aligning governmental objectives with public expectations amidst the ongoing political and economic challenges.
In line with the government’s broader vision, initiatives are underway to tackle pressing socio-economic issues and engage citizens in the democratic process, with the hope of fostering a more accountable and participatory political environment.
This continued journey emphasizes that while progress may be slow, there remains a collective belief in the potential for transformation and improved governance in Fiji, reflecting the resilience and aspirations of its people. With the right focus, Fiji can look forward to a future enriched by active citizen engagement and robust political dialogue.
