The National Federation Party (NFP) has recorded the highest support among Indo-Fijian respondents in the latest national electoral opinion survey, with People First and the Fiji Labour Party (FLP) following closely behind.
The Centre for Democracy and Dialogue’s (CDD) Wave 1 Fiji National Electoral Opinion Survey, conducted between September and October 2026, shows the NFP receiving 21.8 per cent support among Indo-Fijian respondents who expressed a party preference.
People First recorded 17.8 per cent, followed by the Fiji Labour Party at 17.2 per cent.
The People’s Alliance Party (PAP) registered 13.3 per cent, while One Nation recorded 12.8 per cent.
Unity Fiji received 6 per cent and NextGen 5.5 per cent.
The figures were based on 427 decided Indo-Fijian respondents.
The findings show a relatively fragmented distribution of party preferences within the Indo-Fijian community, with no single party receiving a majority of support among decided respondents.
The survey also revealed a contrasting picture among iTaukei respondents.
The People’s Alliance Party recorded 35.2 per cent among 866 decided iTaukei respondents, followed by SODELPA at 18 per cent and Unity Fiji at 16.4 per cent.
The NFP registered 8.1 per cent among iTaukei respondents, compared with 21.8 per cent among Indo-Fijians.
People First recorded 7.5 per cent among iTaukei respondents, while NextGen received 6.6 per cent and the Fiji Labour Party 3.6 per cent.
Among respondents classified under other ethnic groups, Unity Fiji recorded 28.8 per cent, followed by the People’s Alliance Party at 18.1 per cent and NextGen at 16.2 per cent.
That category was based on 67 decided respondents.
The survey highlights differences in party preferences across Fiji’s ethnic communities ahead of the next general election.
The percentages represent weighted shares within each ethnic group among respondents who had expressed a party preference.
They do not include undecided respondents and should not be interpreted as projections of election results.
