SODELPA opposition puts Fiji constitutional bill at risk as PM Rabuka warns Coalition could collapse

Fiji's proposed constitutional amendments are facing significant legislative hurdles as coalition partner SODELPA has refused to support the Bill's third reading. The opposition from within the governing coalition puts the constitutional bill at risk and has prompted Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka to warn that the Coalition government could collapse.

In addition to SODELPA's stance, former attorney-general Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum has publicly called for the amendment process to be halted entirely. The mounting political resistance highlights growing internal fractures within Fiji's leadership over the proposed legal changes.
