The Social Democratic Liberal Party (SODELPA) will contest the 2022 General Election with only 54 candidates.
This was after Peter Waqavonovono decided to withdraw his candidacy due to health issues.
During the Special General Meeting (SGM) at Dudley Intermediate multipurpose court on Saturday, party leader Viliame Gavoka said the party was confident going forward.
