He points to the divisive tactics employed during the lead-up to the 2022 general elections, particularly the use of the race card, which he criticized as detrimental to national unity.

Rabuka says by the time the people’s coalition government heads to the next elections, there will be a different electoral landscape compared to the one they endured in the past.

The Prime Minister’s address also stressed the coalition government’s role in promoting peace and reconciliation, marking a pivotal moment in Fiji’s political history.
