2022 General Election: Clamour for change “strong” – Chaudry

THE clamour for change is strong among the people, says Fiji Labour Party (FLP) leader Mahendra Chaudhry.

The former prime minister said this after a visit of the Western Division last week where he met people from all walks of life along the Kings Highway.

Mr Chaudhry visited Togovere Village, the Tavua market, Nasomo in Vatukoula and a number of growers in the interior of Tavua last Friday to hear what they would want to see in the lead up to December 14.

“It was good to talk to them, they all want a change,” Mr Chaudhry said.

“The clamour for change is so strong amongst the people; they are going through a lot.

“The high cost of living, poverty, unemployment among many other issues is what people are tired of and this is why they want change.”

The FLP leader said the FijiFirst Government seemed to focus more on the tourism industry and neglected the rural sector during its leadership term.

He said roads in the rural area had been left in a depilating state for a long time and people living in those areas had been neglected for long.

“They talk about Denarau and our people are just left aside.

“This Government is completely neglecting the people in rural areas and they have concentrated their investment on the tourism sector.

“This is an issue that most of the people I talked with are raising and they hope to see a change in leadership so their voices can be heard.”
