A SODELPA government will review the Constitution.

SODELPA Leader Sitiveni Rabuka has made it clear that in the event SODELPA wins the majority number of seats in Parliament in the 2018 General Elections, he will resume the work that he and Jai Ram Reddy started in the 1997 Constitution.

While speaking to law students of University of Fiji, Rabuka says that this is to develop in full consultation with the people of Fiji, and with an all‑parties consensus decision in Parliament, for a review of the 2013 Constitution.

Rabuka says the purpose of such a review is to ensure that the Constitution genuinely reflects the wishes and the aspirations of “We, the people of Fiji” and that it is broadly acceptable to all the communities.

Any changes to the 2013 constitution requires 75% of support of members in parliament and 75% of support of the total number of registered voters in Fiji through a referendum.
