NFP plans for future

The National Federation Party (NFP) in Fiji must proactively prepare a new generation of leaders to secure its future success and maintain relevance, stated Member of Parliament and Deputy Speaker Lenora Qereqeretabua. She emphasized that leadership renewal is crucial for the party to remain strong and competitive in the coming years.

“

We must ensure that the future direction of the party is not determined by circumstance or by crisis, but by thoughtful planning and deliberate preparation. If we embrace the task now, we can ensure that the next generation of National Federation Party leaders is not only ready to inherit the party, but to strengthen it, expand its reach, and inspire a new generation of Fijians to believe in our mission.

Qereqeretabua made these remarks during the NFP Working Committee meeting in Ra over the weekend. She urged the party to ensure its future direction is guided by deliberate planning and preparation, rather than by circumstance or crisis. "If we embrace the task now, we can ensure that the next generation of National Federation Party leaders is not only ready to inherit the party, but to strengthen it, expand its reach, and inspire a new generation of Fijians to believe in our mission," she said.

Another NFP Member of Parliament, Sashi Kiran, who also serves as Minister for Women, encouraged party members to contribute their ideas for the party's future policies and manifesto. Kiran stressed that meaningful change originates at the community level, stating, "We are here to serve you, as long as we are in the government, but we need to collectively think about the shape the nation needs to take, and the service we need to develop, and what needs to go into the office. So it really has to come from you."

Party President Pramod Chand reaffirmed the party's commitment to democracy, multiracial cooperation, and national unity as it prepares for the upcoming general election. "We may be from different backgrounds, different religions, different ethnicities, but we are all bound together by our unified purpose of weaving Fiji together," Chand stated. The Party's Working Committee convened in Ra on Saturday to deliberate on key issues and strategize for the next general election.
