The election for the new Speaker of Parliament is scheduled for December 2, 2024. This follows the official vacancy of the position on November 12, when Tui Cakau will be sworn in as the new President of the Republic of Fiji Islands.
Until November 11, Ratu Naiqama will continue to fulfill the responsibilities of the Speaker. On December 2 during the parliamentary session, nominees from both the Government and Opposition will be presented, and a vote will be conducted to appoint the new Speaker.
This upcoming election presents an opportunity for the Parliament to select a leader who will guide its proceedings and foster collaboration among members. It is a chance to embrace new perspectives in leadership, potentially leading to a more effective legislative process. The involvement of both Government and Opposition in the nomination process reflects a commitment to inclusivity and democratic principles.
