Issue No: 983; 30 July 2001The Fiji Labour Party has called for a respect for free and fair elections. This was the leading resolution passed at the Party's delegates conference over the weekend. The resolution read: Further, the Party urges the entire Fiji community, including the military, police and judiciary, to honour and respect the outcome of the election. The Conference notes that the failure to do so will result in further isolation from the international community, irreparable destruction of the economy, and deep suffering of our people, particularly the disadvantaged, the poor and the unemployed. Earlier, the Pacific Islands Development Program called for
the nation to respect the results of the election (see: http://www.pcgov.org.fj/hot_press/no785.htm
). The Commonwealth of Nations and the Australian Government have also called
for a respect for election results. |
