note: in early 1995, ethnic Fijian members of the All National
Congress (ANC) merged with the Fijian Association (FA); the new FA is
scheduled to hold its first meeting in April 1995 at which time the
leaders of the party will be chosen; it is likely that Josevata
KAMIKAMICA, the leader of the FA before the merger, will be elected

ANC have renamed their party the General Electors' Association
