Parliamentary elections start in the Republic of Fiji

Voters in Fiji, Wednesday, went to the polls to cast their votes in the third parliamentary elections since the adoption of a new constitution for the country in 2013.

About 342 candidates are competing for 51 seats for a new four-year parliamentary session, according to Anadolu Agency.

Voting closed at 18:00 (06:00 GMT).

The Fiji First party, led by Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama, is running against the People’s Alliance Party led by former Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka.

Bainimarama, 68, seized power in a coup in 2006, but introduced a new constitution for the country in 2013, and his party later won the 2014 and 2018 elections.
