SODELPA Leader Sitiveni Rabuka emphasizes that the decision to withdraw their election petition was not taken lightly.
Rabuka says a number of options were considered and in their view, all eight witnesses were necessary and crucial to establishing all the grounds of their petition.
He says therefore, they had no choice but to withdraw the petition since six of their key witnesses were not approved by the Court to be given the opportunity to provide oral evidence.
Rabuka has thanked the party supporters and party members, for continuing to keep faith in SODELPA and its principles adding they have another four years before them to prepare themselves to become the next government.
