NFP says Tikoduadua shares party values

The leader of Fiji's National Federation Party Biman Prasad says having a former government minister join his party is significant.

Pio Tikoduadua announced at the weekend he was joining the opposition party, revealing he left the Fiji First government not only because of his health but because he felt aspirations for democracy had been cast aside.

Professor Prasad told Sally Round he realised during pre-election UN roundtable talks involving Mr Tikoduadua that the former head of the prime minister's office was on a similar wavelength.
