Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka announced on Friday that he would be meeting with former FijiFirst and Opposition MPs this weekend.
The 26 former FijiFirst MPs were left without a party following the recent de-registration of the party by the Registrar of Political Parties, Ana Mataiciwa.
Rabuka stated that Opposition MP Mosese Bulitavu had requested a group audience with him.
The meeting, scheduled for this weekend, aims to address the political status of the Opposition MPs and how they can effectively serve their parliamentary duties.
“I’m meeting them this weekend. It’s just a group request from Mo (Mosese),” Rabuka said.
Earlier this week, Rabuka expressed his openness to various options and emphasized the Government’s commitment to open discussions as a means to collaborate on national issues.
“Bulitavu is my nephew; we’ve been communicating since our time together in SODELPA, and it continues,” Rabuka added.
Meanwhile, former FijiFirst Opposition Aliki Bia, now an Independent MP, has shown interest in supporting The People’s Alliance/National Federation Party and SODELPA led-Coalition Government.
Speaking to the media, Bia, a former journalist, indicated his willingness to accept any responsibility offered by Rabuka.
“I am open to any opportunity of responsibility offered by the Prime Minister,” Bia said.
“I’ve consulted with my family and my voters. If I am offered opportunities to help the Government govern the people of Fiji, I’ll be more than ready and willing to give my support.”
Bia joins other Opposition MPs, including Penioni Ravunawa, Viliame Naupoto, Ketan Lal, Mosese Bulitavu, and Semi Koroilavesau.
