Fiji’s prime minister set for victory again

– Fijian Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama was set to win re-election yesterday, with a provisional count showing his Fiji First party holding a comfortable lead, although some voting has been delayed due to bad weather.

Bainimarama has held power in the island nation since 2006, when as military chief he led a bloodless coup. In 2014, he resigned from the military and became prime minister in a landslide victory. – Reuters
