NEWLY appointed Fiji Labour Party president Anand Singh believes there is a lot of work that needs to be done for the party.

Mr Singh was appointed during the party’s annual delegates conference in Lautoka on Saturday.

Mr Singh replaces the late Lavenia Padarath who passed away in July this year.

He said he was looking forward to serving his term as president of the party.

“I am really excited about the new appointment,” he said.

“I have been with the Fiji Labour Party for two decades now. I think there is a lot of work to be done for FLP. I believe that people want an alternative and FLP is that alternative.

“We have been in government twice which is all the more reason that we have the experience.

“All that we need to do right now is to cultivate the conference that we have done before.”

The former attorney-general added that his first order of business was to speak to party members across the country.

“The first thing that we want to do is more consultations. We need to consult with our people in the first instance and we will go from there.”

Meanwhile, other new appointments included four vice-presidents in Sachida Sharma, Monica Raghwan, Surendra Lal and Anwar Lal.

FLP leader Mahendra Chaudhry was reappointed as general secretary while Taina Rokotabua was appointed as the assistant general secretary.
