Opposition MP Ro Teimumu Kepa has denied claims made by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama that there are plans if SODELPA forms government she will become the President of Fiji.

Bainimarama has stated that Ro Teimumu is someone who is desperate to have a high status in government.

Speaking from Poland, Bainimarama says Ro Teimumu is now finger pointing at anyone given their failed plan for her to become president if SODELPA comes to power.

“But she was desperate for votes because of a win in the polls by her party would mean the presidency for her as promised many in the SODELPA camp, she’s very disappointed now with the result of the polls as they have lost and she cannot be president.”

Ro Teimumu on the other-hand refutes any such plan.

“I have no wish at all to be President or anything”

Bainimarama says the lies spread by the former Opposition Leader is vindictive and part of the parcel of her party’s dynamics.

“There is a lot of snake in that camp and the fact that she is again thinking of retiring.”

The Prime Minister has also stated that they will continue to fight for the truth and ensure that all Fijians get what they deserve.
