"Time for Change"

The Social Democratic Liberal Party or SODELPA was registered on the 2nd of May 2013 with the Fiji Elections Office and is the successor to the Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua (SDL) Party founded by the late Prime Minister, Hon. Laisenia Qarase which was removed from office through a military coup in December 2006. SODELPA contested in the 2014 National Elections under the impo

sed 2013 Constitution after eight years of military rule gaining 15 seats and then 2018 securing a total of 21 seats in the 51 seats of Parliament. In 2022, the Party contested the General Election, unfortunately, was able to secure only 3 seats in Parliament making us the 'king maker' whether to coalesce with FijiFirst or the The People's Alliance Party (PAP) and National Federation Party (NFP). At a narrow margin, the Management Board opted for PAP and NFP, bringing the 16 years of the Bainimarama-Khaiyum regime to an end. Our Executives

The Minister for Education, the Honourable Aseri Radrodro , is calling on all Fijians to stand together in support of persons with albinism and to promote a society free from stigma and discrimination.

This yearโ€™s global theme, โ€œProudly In My Skin: Celebrating All Skin Tones,โ€ reminds us to value every person for who they are, beyond physical appearance.

The Minister stressed that inclusion means ensuring people with albinism are treated with dignity, respect, and safety in all spaces, schools, workplaces, and communities. He also highlighted that discrimination, whether open or subtle, has no place in our society.

Albinism is a rare, non contagious genetic condition present at birth. People with albinism may have vision challenges and are more vulnerable to skin damage due to low melanin. The Ministry of Education continues to support efforts to improve access to healthcare, education, and other services so that persons with albinism can live healthy and fulfilling lives.

Honourable Radrodro encourages all schools, communities, and workplaces to take part in awareness activities, learn the facts about albinism, and help stop harmful myths and misunderstandings.

Let us continue to build a society where every person is valued, included, and able to live with dignity.

Land lease security remains one of the most important issues facing farming families and rural communities across Fiji.

SODELPA believes there is a fair and practical way forward โ€” one that protects landowners' rights while providing certainty for hardworking farmers and their families.

Our vision includes:

โœ… Faster processing of lease renewals

โœ… Reduced bureaucracy and delays

โœ… Greater security for farmers to invest and grow

โœ… Fair returns for landowners

โœ… Improved compensation, resettlement support, and collaborative alternative lease arrangements for affected tenants and landowners where leases are not renewed.

โœ… Strong support for agriculture, including sugarcane, dairy, vegetable, and livestock farming

โœ… SODELPA will vigorously explore Public-Private Partnership (PPP) opportunities to attract long-term investment, infrastructure development, and economic growth.

โœ… We will actively promote Joint Venture (JV) arrangements between investors and landowning units/owners to create sustainable development, shared prosperity, and long-term economic benefits.

SODELPA will continue to protect native land ownership while promoting policies that strengthen agriculture, create jobs, and grow our economy.

Land lease issues should not divide our people. They should be addressed through fairness, respect, and practical solutions that benefit landowners, tenants, and future generations of Fiji.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Vanua of Vuda, the Turaga na Tui Vuda, and the people of Viseisei for their warm hospitality, blessings, and for graciously opening and hosting the SODELPA Management Board Meeting.

As Fiji moves towards the 2026 General Election, SODELPA's Management Board convened in Vuda to discuss the Party's vision, priorities, and preparations for the future of our nation.

The meeting brought together Party leaders and officials to review progress made since the 2022 General Election, assess key national issues, and strengthen the Party's commitment to delivering practical solutions for the people of Fiji.

Discussions focused on economic opportunities, rural development, education, healthcare, environmental protection, good governance, and policies that will improve the lives of ordinary Fijians. The Board also reaffirmed SODELPA's commitment to advocating for issues affecting the iTaukei community while promoting the interests and wellbeing of all citizens.

A significant theme throughout the meeting was the importance of leadership grounded in service, accountability, and respect for the people. Board members emphasized the need to remain connected to communities and ensure that the voices of ordinary Fijians continue to shape the Party's direction.

The meeting also highlighted the importance of empowering the next generation of leaders. SODELPA recognizes that Fiji's future will depend on young people who are prepared to serve with integrity, responsibility, and a strong sense of national pride.

As the nation approaches another important election, SODELPA remains focused on presenting policies and solutions that address the challenges facing families, workers, farmers, businesses, and communities across Fiji.

The Party remains committed to the values of social responsibility, democracy, freedom, opportunity, and respect for human dignity. These principles will continue to guide SODELPA as it works towards a stronger, more united, and more prosperous Fiji.

Together, we can build a future that honours our past while creating new opportunities for generations to come.
