The Paramount Chief of the Burebasaga Confederacy and SODELPA MP Ro Teimumu Kepa says she supports the appointment of new Party Leader Viliame Gavoka.

Her comments come as SODELPA MP Mosese Bulitavu is leading the charge and going vocal on social media saying him and others are compiling the papers for legal action against the appointment of the leader.

Bulitavu remains firm the selection criteria for the SODELPA Leadership was unconstitutional as it undermines the Special General Assembly and the Management Board resolutions.

Ro Teimumu told FBC News she was part of the selection process and has embraced the appointment.

Ro Teimumu who was a victim of Bulitavu’s plot in 2014, to remove her as the leader, says the criteria was thoroughly followed.

“I have been part of the process in the selection of the Party Leader and the Deputy Party Leader likewise with General Secretary earlier on, so the same process was followed, very rigorous and transparent and I believe we have a very good outcome.”

Ro Teimumu says she is aware that some SODELPA members did not like the outcome saying they know where to raise their grievance.
