Speaking to the supporters outside the meeting venue, Party Leader Sitiveni Rabuka says the election that has been done today, has taken the party back to how it was formed which was led by the chiefs.

Rabuka says the electing of Shiu Raj shows multiracialism in the party.

He says this is a pathway leading towards their AGM scheduled for November where a party leader will be chosen.
