Fiji Labour Party leader Mahendra Chaudhry has told a campaign meeting in Nasinu that he is confident the FLP and SODELPA will have the numbers to form the government after the election.

He said an FLP–SODELPA government will address issues like the high cost of living raised by their supporters.

Speaking to about 50 people at Narere this week Chaudhry said he has been with the party since its birth in the 1980s and he has experienced every coup in the country.

He said he felt a sense of responsibility to the party’s supporters.

Chaudhry was accompanied at the meeting by FLP President Lavenia Padarath and some of the party’s candidates.
