Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has challenged the Social Democratic Liberal Party (SODELPA) to address its internal issues before aiming for victory in the 2026 General Election.
At SODELPA’s Annual General Meeting last Friday, party leader Aseri Radrodro emphasised the party’s goal of securing an outright majority in the coming general election.
Mr Radrodro said SODELPA would develop a strategy to ensure majority victory and remained focused on building solidarity and unity heading into the 2026 General Election.

When asked if he felt challenged by the party, Mr Rabuka said: “If they get rid of the problem they had when they ousted me, they should be okay.”
Meanwhile, Minister for Sugar and Multi-Ethnic Affairs, Charan Jeath Singh, expressed optimism about the coming election, saying that he believes the People’s Alliance party will win.
