George Shiu Raj who is also one of the three president’s says he is happy to be back in politics and is ready to share his political experience.
“The most important thing in my country is we need to fill the gap between the two major races. We’re human beings, we’re not God. When the gap is too big its human nature that jealousy will come.”
Ro Teimumu and Tui Cakau Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu’s nominations to the position of vice presidents were unopposed however, Shiu-Raj was confirmed as the third VP after receiving more votes than Ratu Jone Lesuma.
