Party plots poll courseThe People's National Party wants to hold talks with Fijian political parties to discuss preferences an impossible alliances for next year's general election.
Party secretary Meli Bogileka said it would be difficult for a party to win a Fijian communal seat on the first count.
"Considering the number of Fijian political parties we have now, the chances of a party winning a Fijian communal seat on the first count are almost impossible," he said.
"And since we have the preferential voting system, it is important for us to talk to other parties on preference.
"We have not spoken to any party yet but we will start approaching all Fijian political parties from next month to discuss the issue."
Mr Bogileka said party executives had started meeting more regularly to work out PNP's strategies for the general election.
"We will not field candidates for all 71 seats in Parliament," he said.
"Instead we will concentrate on Fijian communal seats."
"But that does not mean or stops us from fielding candidates for other seats.
"We are meeting every three weeks now."
Mr Bogileka said the party would field candidates for Serua, Nadroga/Navosa, North West, Bua, Ra, Ba West and Ba West Fijian communal seats and the Navosa, Nadroga and Tavua Open seats.
