Acting Supervisor of Elections, Ana Mataiciwa and FijiFirst Party General Secretary, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum

Acting Supervisor of Elections, Ana Mataiciwa will have a press conference at 1pm today to address issues raised by FijiFirst Party General Secretary, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.

Sayed-Khaiyum said in a media huddle outside the CID Headquarters last night that the Acting SOE has breached the law where the Supervisor of Elections and the Electoral Commission must present a report within 6 months post elections to parliament and the President.

He says the Acting Supervisor and the Commission have not done their job according to the law.

He went on to say “I’m sure fijivillage would love to report on it, NOT.”

Sayed-Khaiyum also says he feels for Electoral Commission Chair, Mukesh Nand and member, Ateca Ledua as they need other commission members to be appointed by the Constitutional Offices Commission, to have a quorum to meet.

He also says the FijiFirst still has two vacant parliamentary seats.

Sayed-Khaiyum is questioning when will these seats be filled as he says that at least the Acting SOE should have processed this.

He also raised the question on what is happening to his complaint to the Electoral Commission against the Acting SOE, Ana Mataiciwa.

The former Attorney General says “this lady (Acting SOE) believes she can do and say whatever she likes.”

We have sent questions to Mataiciwa for clarification on the issues raised.

Stay with us for developments.
