The Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua party is now working with its political partners, which also includes the National Federation Party for constitution submissions.

Earlier, the SDL had indicated they would work with the Fiji Larbor Party and United Peoples Party in drafting submissions for the new constitution.

In a sudden twist, NFP is also now being mentioned as SDL’s political ally.

This was revealed by SDL media liaison officer Mesake Koroi.

“We are working with our respective partners in collating our submissions. The SDL Party is not restricted to one particular group of people. The Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua is inclusive of any individuals who are interested in joining the party.”

Earlier today, Koroi confirmed SDL was yet to make submissions.

He adds the document that was handed to the Commission last week came from a handful of supporters.

The SDL has denied that Solomoni Naivalu led a team to the constitutional hearing.

However, the SDL again feel short on taking a position on the controversial submissions.
