Freedom Alliance Party (Fiji)




The Fiji Alliance Party (FAP), formerly the Fiji United Freedom Party (FUFP) is a registered political party in Fiji. The party's interim president is Jagath Karunaratne.[1] The party aims to provide a platform for youth.


The party applied for registration in May 2014[1] but the application was rejected due to insufficient valid signatures.[2] The party lodged a second application for registration in July,[3] and this was accepted on August 1, 2014.[4]


It contested the general election held in September 2014, but did not win any seats.


In June 2018 the party changed its name to the "Freedom Alliance"[5] following the conviction of its leader for sedition.[6] In October 2018 it signed a partnership agreement with the Fiji Labour Party to join forces for the 2018 election.[7] The party submitted a joint list of 25 candidates, including 6 women.[8] However the joint list failed to win any seats, winning only 2,800 votes.
