SUSPENDED parliamentarian Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu is SODELPA’S new president.
This was revealed by Opposition leader Ro Teimumu Kepa yesterday, following the party’s AGM.
Ro Teimumu said Ratu Naiqama has been voted in as president, replacing Ratu Silivenusi Waqausa, who tendered his resignation some months ago.
She said representatives and members of the party who were present at yesterday’s AGM voted Ratu Naiqama to be the president for the next two years.
“We all looking to his contribution, because this is the first time that he is holding any position in the party and we really look forward to his contribution in terms of work and what the party needs to do in regard to the Nadave workshop that was held last year,” Ro Teimumu said.
“He will take up his post straight after the AGM because the formalisation has gone through.”
She said the party was grateful for everything Ratu Silivenusi had done for them.
“He was our president and we are very grateful to him for being a leader through the difficult times from pre-election and post election.”
