The Fijian Elections Office has rejected the applications for the registration of two political parties.
Registrar of Political Parties, Mohammed Saneem said the evaluation of the applications for registration by the proposed All Peoples Party and the proposed Kingdom United Party found they failed to meet the minimum requirements.

The two applicants had to meet the requirements under Section (6) of the Political Parties (Registration, Conduct, Funding and Disclosures) Act 2013.
Saneem says therefore, he has rejected the applications.
So far, there are nine registered parties.
More than 684,000 Fijians have registered to cast their votes.
