SODELPA General Secretary, Emele Duituturaga says that their constitution states that the primary role of the party leader is to lead the party into the next general elections and the Opposition Leader continues to lead the party in parliament.
When questioned if making Viliame Gavoka the Leader of Opposition will be an area of discussion, Duituturaga says it will not be.
She says the role of the Opposition Leader is very specific to the parliament and the opposition office only.
Meanwhile new SODELPA Leader Viliame Gavoka says he will not be vying for the Opposition Leader position but if he is elected, he will accept it.
Gavoka says this will need to be agreed to by the SODELPA caucus and they should be very clear on the role that they will be playing.
Opposition Leader Sitiveni Rabuka says this decision has to be decided by a vote in parliament.
Rabuka says if a member of opposition decides to move a new name they can do that in parliament.
He says if it is voted in by the majority that they should have a new Opposition Leader then he will accept it.
President Jioji Konrote will address parliament tomorrow.
