The election for a new Speaker of Parliament is set to take place on December 2, 2024. This follows the official vacancy of the position, which will occur on November 12 when Tui Cakau, the current Speaker, assumes the role of President of the Republic of Fiji Islands.

In the interim, Ratu Naiqama will continue to fulfill the responsibilities of the Speaker until November 11. The parliamentary sitting on December 2 will see both the Government and Opposition put forward their nominations, followed by a voting process to select the new Speaker.

This transition marks a significant moment for Fijian politics, reflecting a commitment to democratic processes within the country’s governance. The involvement of both the Government and Opposition in the nomination and voting process is a positive step towards fostering collaboration and unity in the Parliament.

As the country prepares for this change, it offers a chance for new leadership and perspectives that could benefit the legislative agenda and ultimately serve the people of Fiji more effectively.
