“As such, the application has not been approved, and the decision has been formally communicated to the representatives of the Party, outlining the legal requirements that have not been met,” said the Ms. Mataiciwa.
The Registrar further emphasised that registration of political parties is governed by established legal standards designed to ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance within Fiji’s electoral framework. All applications are assessed consistently and in accordance with the law.
“The proposed NextGen Alliance Party are at liberty to appeal the decision of the Registrar within 14 days from receipt of the same,” Ms. Mataiciwa stated.
The FEO remains committed to providing guidance to applicants to ensure that processes are understood and properly followed, while upholding the integrity of the political party registration framework.
The proposed NextGen Alliance Party had earlier submitted its application on 21 November 2025.
