Leader of the Fiji Labour Party, Mahendra Chaudhry has called on the Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka to come out clean and state the real reason for the possible defer in the municipal elections.

Chaudhry claims that this is due to the current government’s inability to find the $13m budgetted to conduct the elections.

He says Rabuka may also be unwilling to test the electoral waters just ahead of the general elections, noting the Coalition’s rising unpopularity with the voters.

Chaudhry also stated that as things stand, Rabuka seems to have bitten off more than he can chew with the heavy agenda he has set the government in the final months of his tenure having whittled the best part of his term enjoying the spoils of office.

He also claimed that for most of their term the Coalition ministers achieved little.

In the final year, the FLP Leader stated that Rabuka suddenly wakes up to the unattended business and is trying to rush through four major exercises which includes the constitution review and the passage of the Constitution Amendment Bill including a Referendum, electoral reforms, municipal elections and the general elections.

Chaudhry says they have no doubt that more delays are in store for the nation.
