Dr Prasad says there is an opportunity for a rethink of how Fiji can move ahead in order to remove concerns about free and fair elections in the future.
He says contention remains around the constitution and laws like the Political Parties Decree.
"And the best way to relook at that is for the government to either set up a bipartisan committee or think about a much more inclusive approach by forming a government of national unity and using the next three years to address all those concerns that not only political parties have here but also the international community."
Dr Prasad says the Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama can leave a legacy of a genuine democracy in the country if he helps try to resolve some of the contentious issues.
