TIGHT security can be seen at Suvavou House in Suva at this hour where the respondents listed in the 2018 General Election petition are believed to be having a meeting.

SODELPA youths are currently waiting outside to serve the petition to the respondents.

Opposition Whip Lynda Tabuya was also among the youth members outside the building.

Government vehicles were seen earlier bringing in food into the building at around 7.30pm.

Police are also present at the scene.

Party youth president Jope Koroisavou said the members had been waiting since morning with copies of the petition to be served to the respondents.

“We will wait here even if they have to come out in the morning,” he said.

“People need to know the truth and that is why we are here.”

Meanwhile, Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem was also seen entering the building this evening at around 7pm.

The Fiji Times Online team approached the Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem before he entered for a comment.

He said: “I am with my lawyer”.

Mr Saneem left the building just moments ago at around 10.17pm.
