The National Federation Party has re-elected its office bearers without opposition during its Annual General Meeting (AGM) held today at the Nadroga Sangam School in Malaqereqere, Sigatoka. Parmod Chand has been reappointed as President, alongside Vice Presidents Devendra Naidu, Kamala Lajendra, Ratu Esava Nabuta, Peter Saunivalu, Waisale Kanavu, and Vijay Rajnesh Prasad. Chandu Lodhia will continue to serve as Treasurer, while Kamal Iyer has been named General Secretary and Bimal Prasad as Assistant General Secretary.
In his address to a large audience, Chand expressed his appreciation for the ongoing support, emphasizing that the party’s resilience over the past 61 years reflects its commitment to principles and national interests. He stated, “The fact that the NFP is 61 years old speaks volumes about the party’s values. We have never abandoned our principles for political expediency. Our achievements are monumental and will continue for decades.”
Chand also acknowledged the historical context of the location, noting that the party had not gathered in Sigatoka for 25 years. “We are meeting here in Sigatoka after 25 years. The last time we met here was at the nearby Cuvu College hall in 1999, right after a major political defeat. Yet, the NFP rose from the ashes, as it always has,” he remarked.
The Annual General Meeting and Convention concluded yesterday.
