[world politics news]


Fiji will hold its third general election Dec. 14. More than 690,000 Fijians are likely to vote nationwide for 55 members of parliament. At total of 342 candidates from nine political parties have registered to contest the 2022 elections. Campaign events and rallies will likely occur in the run-up to the vote. The largest gatherings could draw hundreds of participants, especially in the capital, Suva, prompting increased security.

The upcoming vote will be Fiji's third general election since the 2006 coup led by incumbent Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama, who obtained a slim majority, with just over 50% of the total vote during the 2018 elections.
