Twenty-four politicians from Fiji's main opposition party have been barred from sitting in parliament after the party, Fiji First, had its registration suspended, the parliament's speaker said on ...

Fiji's parliament has delayed its first sitting, where it had been expected a new prime minister would be sworn in to the Pacific islands nation for the first time in 16 years.

Speaking in parliament on Friday, Mr Rabuka, Fiji's prime minister since December, called Mr Bainimarama's speech a "sad" event. "This is a very serious matter," he said.

Fiji's parliament on Friday evening suspended the Pacific Island nation's long-serving former Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama for three years for sedition and insulting the president.

He ruled Fiji as a dictatorship until reverting to democratic governance in 2014. In the first two elections (2014 and 2018), Bainimarama retained power, although with a reduced majority in 2018.
