The Methodist Church of Fiji conference members have decided that it is in the church's interest to support the rule of law and urge interim Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama to have elections by March next year.

As the conference continues at Centenary Church, General Secretary Tuikilakila Waqairatu said any attempt to impose and legitimize the Charter outside the constitution and by an authority which does not have the people's mandate is morally unacceptable.

Waqairatu said this action defies God's authority because it lacks any legal basis and limits the free choice of the people.

With respect to proposals to remove race based voting, Waqairatu said they believe that the most powerful influence that drive communal politics is not race but the perception of racial economic inequality.

The church General Secretary said de-radicalizing politics in Fiji cannot be successful without first de-radicalizing the perception of economic inequality between our racial groups.
