The Minister of Agriculture and Waterways Vatimi Rayalu says, those thinking of jumping ship or forming their own party need to leave now because “we don’t need you, neither does Fiji”.
Mr Rayalu’s statement comes after Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka revealed that he has been told of factions within the People’s Alliance Party.
Mr Rabuka said on Thursday that it included those in Cabinet; the faction intends to breakaway and form a new party in 2026.
