*Mataiciwa says she wants to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for her acting appointment and for choosing her for such a time as this to lead the organisation.
Fijileaks: We are yet to establish if she can be appointed as Acting Election Supervisor under the 2013 Constitution but from her academic and legal records she cannot be appointed Election Supervisor until after 2026.
*Mohammed Saneem’s initial appointment in 2013 had been questioned by the Opposition parties as he did not meet the minimum qualifications required for the position, as advertised - 15 years.

The new Acting Supervisor of Elections Ana Mataiciwa says she will ensure during her tenure that the dignity and integrity of the Office is maintained.

Mataiciwa says she wants to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for her acting appointment and for choosing her for such a time as this to lead the organisation. Mataiciwa who is the current Manager Legal at the FEO has been appointed by the President on the advice of the Constitutional Offices Commission this morning.

She holds a Bachelor of Laws from the University of the South Pacific and joined the FEO in 2014 as the Legal Compliance Coordinator. Mataiciwa was subsequently appointed as Manager Legal in 2020, she acted as the Deputy Supervisor of Elections between January to April 2022 and she headed the legal team for the 2022 General Election.

In her eight year experience at the FEO, Mataiciwa has developed electoral procedures and operational manuals for the 2022, 2018 and 2014 General Elections, facilitated amendments to electoral laws, conducted training for FEO stakeholders and handled the Multinational Observer Group as well as the accreditation for media and civil society organizations.
