Fijian poverty remains high despite promises of unity, with analysts urging accountability and inclusive policies ahead of 2026–2027 elections.
Fijian political analyst Dr. Shailendra Singh warns that despite repeated promises since the 1987 coups to achieve social equity and national unity, poverty persists—with about one in three Fijians, mostly indigenous iTaukei, living below the poverty line.
As Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka’s government enters its final year before the 2026–2027 general election, Singh highlights weak governance, unmet commitments, and a lack of long-term planning.
He calls for greater political accountability, sustainable policies, and an informed electorate that votes on issues rather than identity, stressing that indigenous leadership must balance national pride with inclusion of all ethnic groups to ensure a shared future.
