THE Fijian Elections Office has received the Multinational Observer Group’s final report on the 2018 General Election and will make detailed comments at a later date, says Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem.
“However, we do recognise that the MOG has found that the 2018 General Election was fair and credible and that it reflected the will of the Fijian people,” Mr Saneem said in a statement yesterday.
“We also note that the Multinational Observer Group found that conditions were in place for Fijians to exercise their right freely, which means that the conditions for a free and fair election were met in the 2018 General Election.
“Like any major logistics exercise like an election, there are recommendations which we will give due consideration to, analyse and assess the applicability and usefulness. That is the FEO’s position on the MOG report.”
Mr Saneem conveyed appreciation to the co-chairs of MOG, sponsor countries and observers who attended the election as part of the MOG.
