Supporters of the Social Democratic Liberal Party in the US had queried the manner in which their funds were used by the party during the last general election.

This, interim party leader Sitiveni Rabuka said was one of the main causes of grievances within the party, leading to two factions.

“There are divisions because of how the party has handled the various differences that has been brought up,” he said.

“The complaint from USA chapter had complained about the accounting of their donations.”

He said the division was further caused by the inclusion of a management border member representing them.
