| The former ruling FijiFirst Party has been officially dissolved after the High Court in Suva issued a winding-up order. The party, founded in 2014, was de-registered in July last year after failing to amend its Constitution by the June 28, 2024 deadline set by the Registrar of Political Parties. The winding-up application was filed by the Registrar of Political Parties (Registration, Conduct, Funding and Disclosures) Act, which requires de-registered parties to be formally wound up. In his ruling, Justice Thushara Rajasinghe ordered the Office of the Official Receiver to take charge of the party’s affairs. | The court further ordered that FijiFirst must:

Meanwhile, the same Justice Thushara Rajasinghe will decide next Wednesday, 22 October, whether to send Bainimarama back in a 'prison bus' to jail after finding him guilty on 2 October of making an unwarranted demand of then acting Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu between May and August of 2021 to sack two Fiji police officers |

2) Only lately Khaiyum, the general secretary of the proposed Fiji First Party, while refusing to resign as Election Minister, claimed that he searched through the Government gazettes and found that Sitiveni Rabuka was the Minister responsible for Elections in 1999 while Laisenia Qarase was the Minister responsible for Elections in 2001 and 2006. "This is listed under their responsibilities in the gazettes.";
(3) And yet Khaiyum made no effort or if he did, he is hiding the fact that the original Fiji First Party's name was gazetted on 12 December 2008. Moreover, he was also present at the Navosa meeting along with Viliame Naupoto, now an aspiring candidate for the proposed FFP. Khaiyum's self denial is understandable - for HE is the one who secretly registered his "own" proposed Fiji First Party domain name and g-mail account on 11 November 2009 and updated it on 21 January 2014 to fight the September general election:
(4) When Khaiyum registered his "own" Fiji First Party domain name and e-mail account Fiji was under his State of Public Emergency Regulations and no political acitivities of any kind or manner was allowed to any law-abiding citizens of Fiji. BUT KHAIYUM PUT HIMSELF ABOVE HIS OWN LAW on 11 November 2009 - We say RESIGN NOW and subject yourself to fine and two years imprisonment under your own PER which came into force at 1200 hours on 10 April 2009; the previous day, 9 April, Bainimarama knew of original Fiji First Party!
*That same day the Fiji Court of Appeal had declared the Bainimarama-Khaiyum government illegal in Qarase v Bainimarama case, resulting in the introduction of Khaiyum's PER (Public Emergency Regulations).
| Labasa businessman Charan Jeath Singh made the above allegations against SANJAY KABA, the chairman of FFP Finance Committee, in 2014. Six years later, we see in the 'FFP Family Donation Lists', multiple donations very similar to what Kaba is alleged to have recommended to Singh. We may recall that FFP general secretary Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum had struck Singh out as 2014 party election candidate and had returned his $10,000 donation. But did KABA donate to FFP. YES, he did. He didn't donate as Sanjay Kaba but as SANJAY LAL. We were able to track his donation through our Fijileaks database that we have created out of FFP donations lists, supplied by Mohammed Saneem. ON 13 April 2017, Sanjay Lal [KABA] donated $10,000 to FijiFirst Party. Receipt Number, 1632. We do not know who at FFP received donation |
