RAFiji's proposed Presidential political forum is in doubt after the Commonwealth special envoy, Sir Paul Reeves was reportedly told to step aside as chair by the interim government. The forum was planned as a multi party gathering to consider changes to Fiji's electoral system but the SDL party says the forum has no credibility without Sir Paul and says it - and other parties - will refuse to participate.

Presenter: Bill Bainbridge
Speakers: Peceli Kinivuwai, National Director of the SDL; Steven Ratuva, Senior Lecturer, School of Social Sciences, The University of the South Pacific
