The NCBBF's recommended changes to the electoral system have received mixed reactions.
The High Chief of Rewa said their stance will not change on the matter.
Ro Teimumu Kepa said any changes to the Electoral System must go through a democratic and parliamentary process adding that they will not support anything outside of Fiji's laws.
On the other hand, the Ecumenical Centre for Research Education and Advocacy's Chantelle Khan said they support the NCBBF's recommendations and hopes the international community will help.
The public's views will now be taken by the National Council of Building a Better Fiji, on whether major changes should be made to the structure of parliament and senate.
The NCBBF said further possible changes need to be looked at and these include the term of parliament, a provision to be made for referendums to be held in respect of any significant amendments to the constitution, the number of seats in parliament, the future role, size and composition of senate and the expansion of conditions for eligibility to stand for parliament.
