The Green Party of Fiji was a political party in Fiji . The party was formed in November 2008 by former interim regime Cabinet Minister Bernadette Ganilau . [1] Like other green parties , the party followed principles of " ecological wisdom , social justice and non-violence, participatory democracy and sustainability". [2]
The party was registered with the Fiji Elections Office. [ citation needed ]
In January 2013 the military-backed regime promulgated new regulations governing the registration of political parties, requiring all parties to have at least 5,000 members. All existing parties had to re-register under the new regulations. [3] The party was not one of the two to re-register, [4] and as a result was wound up and its assets forfeited to the state. [5]
