Deputy Prime Minister Manoa Kamikamica has rejected allegations that some members of the People’s Alliance Party are working to establish a new political party, describing the rumors as unfounded.
This assertion follows a party meeting held on Tuesday, where members expressed their support for the party leader and Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka.
Kamikamica warned that discussions about forming a new party could jeopardize the nation’s stability.
The People’s Alliance Party has clarified that the speculation regarding the formation of a new party is simply “rumors.”
“I can say, based on the discussions I’ve had, that all Caucus members are united in our view. If any of us wanted to leave to create another party, it would likely be just rumors, and there’s no truth to it,” Kamikamica stated.
He emphasized the party’s unity and dedication to the country’s advancement, mentioning upcoming priorities such as a constitutional review, the establishment of a reconciliation commission, and an aim to grow the economy by 5%.
Kamikamica pointed out that the recent appointment of a new government after 16 years under a different regime makes it imperative to avoid destabilizing discussions about new parties.
“We can all see clearly what needs to be done in Fiji. Anyone trying to form a political party now should resign. We must focus on showing the country our discipline and commitment to doing the right thing,” he remarked.
He underscored the importance of stability, stating that the swift support for the Prime Minister aims to quell what he perceives as mere rumor-mongering without foundation.
Kamikamica called on Fijians to prioritize political and economic stability and to avoid spreading rumors.
