Fiji's first coup leader is promising to restore democratic freedoms to the country if elected prime minister later this year.
Sitiveni Rabuka is the leader of the opposition SODELPA party and came to prominence in 1987 when he overthrew the elected government of Timoci Bavadra.
Mr Rabuka has apologised for his role in Fiji's coup culture.
The former military strongman spoke with Dominic Godfrey about what he'd bring to the country as prime minister and started with the freedoms his party is promising.
