Leader of Opposition, Voreqe Bainimarama has tendered his resignation.

Bainimarama said that given the need to maintain Fiji First numbers in Parliament over the next 3 years, and the need for FijiFirst to be on the ground at all times, following discussions with their General Secretary, Parliamentary Caucus, and most of all their supporters, he has tendered in his resignation from Parliament, with immediate effect.

Bainimarama will still continue to be the Leader of Fiji First.

FijiFirst will nominate Inia Seruiratu in the next sitting of Parliament to be the Leader of the Opposition.

He added as the Leader and the General Secretary will guide the Parliamentary Caucus so they can continue to fight inside Parliament while we will engage more actively outside Parliament with our FijiFirst supporters and the growing number of unsatisfied Fijians who are now questioning their decision to vote for parties that seem to be not delivering on their promises.

Bainimarama wants to assure all our supporters and all Fijians that you will be seeing more of me on the ground as I engage with you to listen to your needs wants and concerns.

Bainimarama also assured all Fijians that they will be seeing more of him on the ground as he engages with them to listen to their needs, wants, and concerns.
