President Ratu Wiliame Katonivere is tipped to be re-elected as the country's President for his final 3 year term today.
The Sitiveni Rabuka led coalition government is expected to nominate Ratu Wiliame for his second term in office when nominations are called in Parliament today.
Under the 2013 Constitution, the President can only serve two terms in office.
The Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition will submit a presidential candidate to the Speaker of Parliament.
The nominees will then be announced before Parliament votes on the new President.
Ratu Wiliame was elected as President in 2021 after being nominated by former Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama.
Rabuka had earlier indicated to fijivillage News that his proposal to the People’s Alliance Party was for Ratu Wiliame to have another term.
Opposition Leader, Inia Seruiratu has not responded to our question when asked on who will the Opposition nominate as President.
If the Opposition agrees with the Prime Minister's nominee, then Ratu Wiliame will be elected unopposed.
