The ruling People’s Alliance party is currently experiencing internal strife. Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has revealed that some members of the Cabinet are contemplating breaking away to establish their own party ahead of the 2026 General Election. He acknowledged that he is unsure of the identities of these ministers but mentioned that he had been informed about their intentions.
Rabuka stated, “They are free to do it,” indicating that if they are dissatisfied with the current situation, they have the option to pursue their own political path. He emphasized that those considering this move should come forward and identify themselves, suggesting that they either lead the party now or create a new one in the future.
For now, Rabuka affirmed that the party remains united. He reiterated his lack of knowledge about which Cabinet members are thinking of leaving, saying, “No. I have been told and they are free to do that.”
The current PA Ministers in the government include Deputy Prime Minister Manoa Kamikamica, Lynda Tabuya, Sakiasi Ditoka, Siromi Turaga, Filimoni Vosarogo, Ro Filipe Tuisawau, Jese Saukuru, Alitia Bainivalu, Kalaveti Ravu, Maciu Nalumisa, Charan Jeath Singh, Vatimi Rayalu, and Dr. Atonio Lalabalavu.
