ü Bainimarama campaign was the creation of a ‘new Fiji’, freed at last from the legacies of its failed past.

- Free and Fair Elections-an intelligible constitution and authoritative system, autonomous and unbiased political race managers, understanding of every single ideological group to take part in serious decisions.
- Framework-sets a fundamental structure for decisions, every positive arrangement is sabotaged by another and superfluous arrangement, constituent rights without a doubt, media can provide details regarding the political race.
- Supervision-the Fiji Government Constitution made two significant foundations for political decision: the discretionary commission and the chief of political decision. In this manner, the reason for concern is the transitional plans for races in the FGC.
