Former FijiFirst allies Premila Kumar and Mosese Bulitavu are clashing on social media, trading accusations as the 2026 General Election nears.
Ms Kumar has called Mr Bulitavu a "party hopper" and "opportunist" after he linked her to FijiFirst's economic mismanagement.
He claimed she was now supporting the Opposition Leader's new political movement and criticised FijiFirst for its lack of AG Ms, financial secrecy, and $700K debt.
