Advisory – FijiFirst Party suspension

The office of the Speaker of the Fiji Parliament received correspondence from the Acting Registrar of Political Parties informing that the FijiFirst Party had been suspended with immediate effect from Wednesday, 17 May 2023.

In light of the suspension of the registration of the FijiFirst Party, all twenty-four members are not entitled to take part in the proceedings of Parliament or any committee of Parliament for the duration of the suspension of the registration of the FijiFirst Party. This also means that all twenty-four members are precluded from participating in all related activities such as representing Parliament in meetings, workshops, seminars, conferences, assemblies, and so forth, for the period of suspension until the suspension of the registration is lifted.

In addition, all twenty-four members of the FijiFirst Party cannot be entitled to any remuneration from Parliament for the duration of the suspension.
