| | House of Representatives (Fiji) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Under a grandfather clause in the 1970 Constitution, the old Legislative Council, which had functioned in various forms since 1904, was renamed the House of Representatives and continued in office until 1972, when the first post-independence elections were held. | | | Last but not least, the Prime Minister and Cabinet must retain the confidence of a majority of the House of Representatives in order to remain in office. | | | In elections from 1972 through 1987, Fiji was divided into communal (consisting of voters registered as members of specific ethnic groups) and national constituencies (with seats allocated to specific ethnic groups, but elected by universal suffrage). |

| | Chaudhry's strained relationship with Prime Minister Qarase has prevented the Labour Party from being represented in the Cabinet, despite the constitutional stipulation that any political party with more than eight seats in the House of Representatives is entitled to proportionate representation in the Cabinet. | | | Elections to restore democracy were held in September 2001; the Labour Party, hurt by intra-party fighting and the defection of key figures including Tupeni Baba, won the most votes (34.8 percent), but only 28 of the 71 seats in the House of Representatives (Fiji), four less than the United Fiji Party of Laisenia Qarase. | | | On July 18 2003 the Supreme Court of Fiji ruled that Qarase's exclusion of the Labour Party breached the constitution, and demanded that the situation be rectified. |
