The Registrar of Political Parties, Ms Ana Mataiciwa, has today rejected the application for registration of the Proposed One United Republican (OUR) Party.
Ms Mataiciwa said that the Party was required to meet the minimum required number of 5,000 members, with 2,000 required from Central Division, 1,750 from Western Division, 1,000 from Northern Division and 250 from Eastern Division. However, the Party failed to meet the requirements for all four Divisions.
Ms Mataiciwa said that, as such, the application has not been approved, and the decision has been formally conveyed to the Party’s representatives, outlining the specific requirements that must be addressed.
The Registrar reiterated 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.
There are currently 11 registered Political Parties, and 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.
