Formation


The party was launched on 31 March, 2014 with Bainimarama beginning a nationwide tour of the country in a campaign bus to collect the obligatory 5000 signatures necessary to register a political party.[1]


Bainimarama says FijiFirst is a name that encompasses his political beliefs.[2]


He listed his first candidate and party president; Jiko Luveni, the current Minister for Women.[3]


The party collected over 40,000 signatures for the registration of the party.[4]


The party appointed former Fiji Labour Party senator, Bijai Prasad as one of its Vice Presidents as well as the current Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum as the party General secretary. Bijai Prasad resigned as VP a day later citing a criminal conviction for larceny in the 1980s for which he had served jail time.[5] The Tui Macuata, Ratu Viliame Katonivere was also selected as a vice president of the party. Vimlesh Kumar who is an accountant and an affiliate member of CPA Australia is listed as the treasurer.[6]


The party's application for registration resulted in six complaints,[7] including one from a party which had previously used the "Fiji First" name.[8] Despite this, the party was registered on 30 May 2014.[9]



2014 election


The party released its first batch of 21 candidates on July 25, 2014[10] with Frank Bainimarama heading the list. As a result of the 2014 Fijian general elections, the party won 293,714 votes, 59.2% of all those who voted (495,105 voters), giving the party a clear majority with 32 of the 50 Parliamentary seats.[11]



2018 election


The party ran 51 candidates in the 2018 elections, ten of which were women.[12] FijiFirst won the 2018 general elections with a reduced majority from the 2014 elections. FijiFirst accumulated 227,241 of the votes that resulted on the party gaining 50.02% that allocated to 27 seats enough for the party to govern alone within a slim majority.[13][14]
