The ruling Fiji First party led provisional national election results, boosted by a 31.42% vote for Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama, with half of polling stations counted in the Pacific island nation after Wednesday's vote.
Bainimarama, who came to power in a coup 16 years ago, is contesting his third democratic election since reforms to Fiji's constitution in 2013 scrapped a system that drew distinctions between the votes of indigenous Fijians and its large ethnic Indian population.
The provisional result showed Fiji First with 45.88% of votes at 7 a.m. Thursday, ahead of the People's Alliance Party with 32.66% of votes, while the National Federation Party had 9.29% of votes. Technical problems plagued the election office's app, used by the public to track provisional results on Wednesday evening. It had shown a People's Alliance Party candidate leading, before the app was taken offline for several hours and returned at 2 a.m. to showThe election office said mistakes had been made transferring data to the app, which had incorrectly boosted some candidates vote.
