SODELPA Defers Candidate Announcement, Explains Delays

Party President of the Social Democratic Liberal Party, Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu yesterday approved the recommendation of the party leader Sitiveni Rabuka to defer the Special General Assembly (SGA) scheduled for November 18.
Party Leader, Sitiveni Rabuka confirmed the deferment. He said: “I realise there was great expectation for the announcement of the party’s lineup for 2018 but due to scheduling conflicts, and meeting technicalities, it was necessary to make some changes, and so the SGA will be rescheduled once the candidate selection committee completes its work and the party is ready to announce its line-up.
“We have completed 86 interviews, face-to-face and some via skype, however some can only be carried out, when those applicants whom we couldn’t interview due to scheduling conflicts, return to Fiji.”
