(o) The President's Political Dialogue Forum (PPDF)

A special meeting of political parties and other stakeholders will be held on March 13 to determine the agenda and the terms of reference, drafted by independent interlocutors Dr Sitiveni Halapua and Robin Nair. The PPDF will be convened when these matters have been resolved. FijiLive reports likely topics for inclusion are a proposed Republic of Fiji Military Forces (RFMF) Act to prevent the future overthrow of democratically elected governments, recommended changes to the 1997 Constitution, outcomes from the People's Charter and timelines for implementation, electoral reforms, and the timeline for the next General Elections. The central issue will be a stable return to parliamentary rule, from which the agenda items for the proposed PPDF will flow and give shape to a measurable timeline for a general election.
