Meanwhile Viliame Gavoka has been accepted as Party Leader and Filimoni Vosarogo has been endorsed as the new Deputy Leader in the party AGM in Lami today.

21 members of the Management Board voted for Gavoka to be the Party Leader while 20 voted for Caretaker Leader yesterday.

Legend FM also received confirmation that 21 board members voted for Vosarogo while 20 voted for Lynda Tabuya.

Ratu Epenisa Cakobau did not cast a vote and oversaw the elections.

Some of the party MPs like Lynda Tabuya, Inosi Kuridrani, Ro Filipe Tuisawau, Salote Radrodro and Jese Saukuru who were present during the meeting yesterday did not like the outcome of the appointment.

They had questioned why they needed a new leader when Rabuka had brought in more votes than anyone else in the party in the 2018 general elections.

Other MPs like Mikaele Leawere and Aseri Radrodro say it's time for a change and they believe in the new appointment.

Ratu Epenisa Cakobau has also made it clear that they will support the people who will be officially announced as Leader and Deputy Leader today.
