Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua
The Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua (occasionally known as the United Fiji Party but usually known by the acronym SDL) was a political party in Fiji. It was founded in 2001 by Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase as a power base; it absorbed most of the Christian Democratic Alliance and other conservative groupings, and its endorsement by the Great Council of Chiefs (Bose Levu Vakaturaga) caused it to be widely seen as the successor to the Alliance Party, the former ruling party that had dominated Fijian politics from the 1960s to the 1980s. It draws its support mainly from indigenous Fijiians.
The party was led in Parliament by Prime Minister Qarase. The party organization was headed up by Ratu Kalokalo Loki as President and by Jale Baba as General Secretary (later termed National Director) until early 2006, when he was transferred at the beginning of 2006 to managing the campaign for the 2006 General Election. Peceli Kinivuwai took over as National Director.

Tupeni Baba
Tupeni Lebaivalu Baba is a Fijian academic and politician, who founded the now-defunct New Labour Unity Party.

STORYLINE:
As the leaders of Fiji's two main Fijian and ethnic Indian political parties predict a general election win, pundits say a two-horse race is emerging for the first time in recent years.
While seven parties held seats after the 1999 vote, observers say Fiji's smaller parties may win few seats in this election, which is polarised along racial lines.
That would see a face-off between the Fiji Labour Party, which dominates ethnic Indian politics, and the recently created Fiji United Party, or S-D-L, led by interim Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase.
The election is restoring democratic rule to Fiji for the first time since a May 2000 nationalist coup dumped a Labour-led coalition out of government.
Initial vote counts on Tuesday revealed the Pacific nation's two dominant communities giving their support along racial lines.
Underlining the racial rift dividing Fiji, leaders of indigenous Fijian political parties met on Tuesday to discuss forming a coalition government which would prevent the Pacific nation's ethnic Indian minority grabbing power following the general election.
Before the start of voting for the 71-seat Parliament, observers said a coalition among Fijian parties was the only hope of an indigenous Fijian government.
It's unclear whether Fijian parties will agree to form a coalition, but a confident Qarase, an indigenous Fijian, predicted his party would win an outright victory in the election.
A total of 37 seats would hand Qarase's S-D-L party power in Parliament and the right to appoint the next prime minister and form the new government.
The S-D-L's main opposition, the Fiji Labour Party of former prime minister Mahendra Chaudhry, reinforced its dominance of ethnic Indian politics with resounding wins to hold all 11 seats announced so far in the party's western Fiji sugar cane growing stronghold.
A final ballot count isn't expected until Wednesday at the earliest.

STORYLINE:
Polling places opened across Fiji's 300 islands early on Saturday, in an election voters hope will return stability to this troubled South Pacific nation.
In major centres, lines of up to 50 voters waited in warm sun as booths opened on the first day of the week long poll.
The poll to elect a new government comes 15 months after armed gunmen led by failed businessmen George Speight stormed the country's Parliament and took its first ethnic Indian prime minister and his cabinet hostage.
While there was a strong police presence at main polling places in the capital, Suva, officials and international election observers agreed that voting should go without incident.
Security has been tightened nationwide for the next three months, with military forces on high alert and using "snap" random roadblocks to check people and vehicles.
The nation's president, Ratu Josefa Iloilo, told reporters after casting an early vote that Fijians "are trying to elect those people we can rely on, and we think they can stabilize our days ahead."
Fijians are confident about the future, he added.
Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase, voting at the same booth, described the event as "one of the most important elections in the country since independence," in 1971.
Standing in his first election, Qarase, a former banker installed in office by the military, said his indigenous Fijian United Party has "a chance of organizing the next government."
Under Fiji's Constitution, a single party cannot govern alone.

SUMMARY
=======
Fiji ( (listen) FEE-jee; Fijian: Viti [ˈβitʃi]; Fiji Hindi: फ़िजी), officially the Republic of Fiji (Fijian: Matanitu Tugalala o Viti; Fiji Hindi: फ़िजी गणराज्य), is an island country in Melanesia, part of Oceania in the South Pacific Ocean about 1,100 nautical miles (2,000 km; 1,300 mi) northeast of New Zealand's North Island. Its closest neighbours are Vanuatu to the west, New Caledonia to the southwest, New Zealand's Kermadec Islands to the southeast, Tonga to the east, the Samoas and France's Wallis and Futuna to the northeast, and Tuvalu to the north. It has an archipelago of more than 330 islands—of which 110 are permanently inhabited—and more than 500 islets, amounting to a total land area of about 18,300 square kilometres (7,100 sq mi). The farthest island is Ono-i-Lau. The two major islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, account for 87% of the total population of 898,760. The capital, Suva on Viti Levu, serves as Fiji's principal cruise port. About three-quarters of Fijians live on Viti Levu's coasts, either in Suva or in smaller urban centres like Nadi (with tourism being the major industry) or Lautoka (sugar cane industry). Viti Levu's interior is sparsely inhabited due to its terrain.The majority of Fiji's islands were formed through volcanic activity starting around 150 million years ago. Today, some geothermal activity still occurs on the islands of Vanua Levu and Taveuni. The geothermal systems on Viti Levu are of non-volcanic origin with low temperature (35-60 degrees celcius) surface discharges, Sabeto Hot Springs near Nadi being a good example. Fiji has been inhabited since the second millennium BC, and was settled first by Austronesians and later by Melanesians, with some Polynesian influences. Europeans visited Fiji from the 17th century, and, after a brief period as an independent kingdom, the British established the Colony of Fiji in 1874. Fiji was a Crown colony until 1970, when it gained independence as the Dominion of Fiji. A republic was declared in 1987, following a series of coups d'état. In a coup in 2006, Commodore Frank Bainimarama seized power. When the High Court ruled in 2009 that the military leadership was unlawful, President Ratu Josefa Iloilo, whom the military had retained as the nominal Head of State, formally abrogated the Constitution and reappointed Bainimarama. Later in 2009, Iloilo was replaced as President by Ratu Epeli Nailatikau. After years of delays, a democratic election was held on 17 September 2014. Bainimarama's FijiFirst party won with 59.2% of the vote, and the election was deemed credible by international observers.Fiji has one of the most developed economies in the Pacific due to an abundance of forest, mineral, and fish resources. Today, the main sources of foreign exchange are its tourist industry and sugar exports. The country's currency is the Fijian dollar. Fiji's local government, in the form of city and town councils, is supervised by the Ministry of Local Government and Urban Development.

STORYLINE:
As the leaders of Fiji's two main Fijian and ethnic Indian political parties predict a general election win, pundits say a two-horse race is emerging for the first time in recent years.
While seven parties held seats after the 1999 vote, observers say Fiji's smaller parties may win few seats in this election, which is polarised along racial lines.
That would see a face-off between the Fiji Labour Party, which dominates ethnic Indian politics, and the recently created Fiji United Party, or S-D-L, led by interim Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase.
The election is restoring democratic rule to Fiji for the first time since a May 2000 nationalist coup dumped a Labour-led coalition out of government.
Initial vote counts on Tuesday revealed the Pacific nation's two dominant communities giving their support along racial lines.
Underlining the racial rift dividing Fiji, leaders of indigenous Fijian political parties met on Tuesday to discuss forming a coalition government which would prevent the Pacific nation's ethnic Indian minority grabbing power following the general election.
Before the start of voting for the 71-seat Parliament, observers said a coalition among Fijian parties was the only hope of an indigenous Fijian government.
It's unclear whether Fijian parties will agree to form a coalition, but a confident Qarase, an indigenous Fijian, predicted his party would win an outright victory in the election.
A total of 37 seats would hand Qarase's S-D-L party power in Parliament and the right to appoint the next prime minister and form the new government.
The S-D-L's main opposition, the Fiji Labour Party of former prime minister Mahendra Chaudhry, reinforced its dominance of ethnic Indian politics with resounding wins to hold all 11 seats announced so far in the party's western Fiji sugar cane growing stronghold.
A final ballot count isn't expected until Wednesday at the earliest.

Tupeni Lebaivalu Baba is a Fijian academic and politician, who founded the now-defunct New Labour Unity Party. Most members of this party later merged with several other centrist parties to form the Fiji Democratic Party (now part of the National Alliance Party). A former Professor of Education at the University of the South Pacific (USP), he later served as a senior research fellow at the Centre for Pacific Studies at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, from 2001 to the end of 2005. In the general election scheduled for 6–13 May 2006, Baba attempted a political comeback, this time on the ticket of the ruling Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua (SDL), a political switch that generated a considerable degree of public discussion. Although his bid was unsuccessful, he was subsequently appointed to the Senate as one of nine nominees of the Fijian government.

STORYLINE:
Polling places opened across Fiji's 300 islands early on Saturday, in an election voters hope will return stability to this troubled South Pacific nation.
In major centres, lines of up to 50 voters waited in warm sun as booths opened on the first day of the week long poll.
The poll to elect a new government comes 15 months after armed gunmen led by failed businessmen George Speight stormed the country's Parliament and took its first ethnic Indian prime minister and his cabinet hostage.
While there was a strong police presence at main polling places in the capital, Suva, officials and international election observers agreed that voting should go without incident.
Security has been tightened nationwide for the next three months, with military forces on high alert and using "snap" random roadblocks to check people and vehicles.
The nation's president, Ratu Josefa Iloilo, told reporters after casting an early vote that Fijians "are trying to elect those people we can rely on, and we think they can stabilize our days ahead."
Fijians are confident about the future, he added.
Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase, voting at the same booth, described the event as "one of the most important elections in the country since independence," in 1971.
Standing in his first election, Qarase, a former banker installed in office by the military, said his indigenous Fijian United Party has "a chance of organizing the next government."
Under Fiji's Constitution, a single party cannot govern alone.

SUMMARY

Fiji ( (listen) FEE-jee; Fijian: Viti [ˈβitʃi]; Fiji Hindi: फ़िजी), officially the Republic of Fiji (Fijian: Matanitu Tugalala o Viti; Fiji Hindi: फ़िजी गणराज्य), is an island country in Melanesia, part of Oceania in the South Pacific Ocean about 1,100 nautical miles (2,000 km; 1,300 mi) northeast of New Zealand's North Island. Its closest neighbours are Vanuatu to the west, New Caledonia to the southwest, New Zealand's Kermadec Islands to the southeast, Tonga to the east, the Samoas and France's Wallis and Futuna to the northeast, and Tuvalu to the north. It has an archipelago of more than 330 islands—of which 110 are permanently inhabited—and more than 500 islets, amounting to a total land area of about 18,300 square kilometres (7,100 sq mi). The farthest island is Ono-i-Lau. The two major islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, account for 87% of the total population of 898,760. The capital, Suva on Viti Levu, serves as Fiji's principal cruise port. About three-quarters of Fijians live on Viti Levu's coasts, either in Suva or in smaller urban centres like Nadi (with tourism being the major industry) or Lautoka (sugar cane industry). Viti Levu's interior is sparsely inhabited due to its terrain.The majority of Fiji's islands were formed through volcanic activity starting around 150 million years ago. Today, some geothermal activity still occurs on the islands of Vanua Levu and Taveuni. The geothermal systems on Viti Levu are of non-volcanic origin with low temperature (35-60 degrees celcius) surface discharges, Sabeto Hot Springs near Nadi being a good example. Fiji has been inhabited since the second millennium BC, and was settled first by Austronesians and later by Melanesians, with some Polynesian influences. Europeans visited Fiji from the 17th century, and, after a brief period as an independent kingdom, the British established the Colony of Fiji in 1874.

Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua
The Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua (occasionally known as the United Fiji Party but usually known by the acronym SDL) was a political party in Fiji. It was founded in 2001 by Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase as a power base; it absorbed most of the Christian Democratic Alliance and other conservative groupings, and its endorsement by the Great Council of Chiefs (Bose Levu Vakaturaga) caused it to be widely seen as the successor to the Alliance Party, the former ruling party that had dominated Fijian politics from the 1960s to the 1980s. It draws its support mainly from indigenous Fijiians.
The party was led in Parliament by Prime Minister Qarase. The party organization was headed up by Ratu Kalokalo Loki as President and by Jale Baba as General Secretary (later termed National Director) until early 2006, when he was transferred at the beginning of 2006 to managing the campaign for the 2006 General Election. Peceli Kinivuwai took over as National Director.
