Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has addressed concerns within the People’s Alliance Party during the annual general meeting held at the FMF Gymnasium in Suva. He called on his supporters and party members to remain committed to the party’s core mission, despite facing criticisms and internal disputes.
In his remarks, Rabuka emphasized the party’s identity as an alliance of like-minded individuals. He urged members to uphold the values that define the party’s vision and mission. “We are an alliance, we are a group of like-minded people and like-minded leaders. We acknowledge the roles of past leaders, present leaders, and emerging leaders,” he stated.
The call for unity comes amidst recent discussions within the party regarding possible leadership changes and factions exploring the formation of a new political entity ahead of the upcoming 2026 General Election. Rabuka remains optimistic, asserting that facing criticisms and internal disagreements can lead to growth. He encouraged members to engage in constructive dialogue and focus on their common goals, reinforcing that the party’s strength lies in a unified effort.
This message of resilience echoes prior sentiments shared by Rabuka, where he noted the necessity of managing differences, especially concerning generational gaps among party members. The Prime Minister has underscored that navigating differences through proper communication channels is essential, rather than allowing public grievances to overshadow the party’s mission.
The internal dynamics of the People’s Alliance Party will play a critical role as the elections approach. Rabuka’s emphasis on collaboration and the importance of a shared purpose aims to unify supporters as they prepare for the political landscape ahead. His leadership approach seems poised to foster hope for inclusive governance and collaborative efforts in advancing the nation’s welfare.
As the political environment continues to evolve, the People’s Alliance appears determined to strengthen its foundation, navigating challenges with a focus on delivering for the Fijian people while remaining united.
