Bainimarama brushed aside debate challenges from Biman as well as from other parties.

” Don’t make himself relevant to me. He is nothing. Biman Prasad is nothing. When I’m finished with my manifesto then I don’t need to debate with anyone. Tell Biman he’s talking about everyday issues those are the things that the people know that we’re going to bring to them- Certainty. He’s going to bring about uncertainty. The people won’t know whether he’s going to do it or not but the people know I will do it.”

Bainimarama stressed he has always remained true to his words.

As the Election draws closer, there have been war of words amongst candidates.
