Leader of Opposition, Inia Seruiratu says he is now trying to consolidate the Opposition made up of 26 independents at the moment, and the 26 former FijiFirst MPs have until July 15th to confirm to the Speaker on whether they will continue as independents or join another party.

In an interview with fijivillage News, Seruiratu confirms that he is still the Leader of Opposition, and he is confident that he will remain to hold the position but this is politics, and anything can happen.

He also says they are also a government in waiting and he is the Prime Minister in waiting if some from the current government side join the independents.

Seruiratu says he is not aware of any approaches to the former FijiFirst MPs to join the People’s Alliance Party.

He stresses that national interest is first and foremost, and he wants to move away from adversarial politics.

Seruiratu also says it is unfortunate that the party had to be de-registered but he will continue to stand for a united Fiji and no one to be left behind.

He reveals that they also have some trust issues and they are trying to deal with that.

Seruiratu stresses the country needs a formidable opposition and to ensure that it keeps the government in check.
