Senior Methodist ministers will not stand in elections

Tuesday, May 21st, 2013

The Methodist Church in Fiji and Rotuma will not have any of its senior members standing for the 2014 general elections.

Confirming this, church general secretary Reverend Tevita Nawadra said despite their intentions not to participate in the elections, they would still be part of the country’s political agenda.

Mr Nawadra said their main aim was to spread the word of God and would focus on that.

“We (church ministers) will not stand for elections,” Mr Nawadra said.
