The Electoral Commission has returned to its full complement following the appointment of two new Electoral Commissioners and the reappointment of three existing members as Fiji prepares for the next General Election.
The Commission welcomed the appointments of Nicola Vuetilovoni and Raumanu Georgina Pranjivan, alongside the reappointment of Ratu Inoke Loganimoce, Nemani Mati and Reginald Jokhan to new terms.
Chairperson Justice Usaia Ratuvili formally welcomed the new and returning Commissioners during the Commission’s fifth meeting of 2026, saying the appointments strengthen the body’s ability to carry out its constitutional responsibilities.
“Our role is very clear under the Constitution and by statute. Collectively with the FEO, we are the Elections Management Body for Fiji. The General Elections will be carried out by the FEO, the Supervisor of Elections and the Secretary to the Commission,” Justice Ratuvili said.
He said restoring the Commission to its full membership was important as it prepares to undertake its supervisory and appellate functions during the electoral period.
Justice Ratuvili reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to delivering credible, secure and transparent elections in partnership with the Fijian Elections Office.
Ms Vuetilovoni brings more than 30 years of experience in architecture, project management, property, tourism and corporate governance. She has held several governance roles, including serving as Chair of Habitat for Humanity Fiji, and is currently a director of Uluda Holdings Limited.
Ms Pranjivan is an experienced lawyer with expertise in public law, governance and commercial litigation. She previously served for more than 11 years in the Office of the Attorney-General before entering private practice and has represented Fiji internationally, including during the country’s COP23 Presidency.
The Electoral Commission said it looks forward to working with all Commissioners as preparations continue for the next General Election, with the shared objective of upholding the integrity, transparency and credibility of Fiji’s electoral process.
