Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka is still awaiting a comprehensive report on the mysterious glitch that occurred during the 2022 General Election.
Speaking yesterday at the opening of the Higher Education Commission Fiji office in Labasa, Mr Rabuka confirmed he had not yet received the report.
On 14 December 2022, the Fijian Elections Office (FEO) app malfunctioned during vote counting, causing a suspension of provisional results.
