Fiji's National Federation Party is focussing on increasing its indigenous Fijian support ahead of this year's general election.
Radio Legend reports the move has come after official confirmation that the number of Indo-Fijians registered to vote in the elections has suffered a substantial decline.
The NFP president, Raman Pratap Singh, says they will be fielding candidates in the Fijian communal and Open seats in order to win other seats apart from the Indian communal seats.
Mr Singh says this will allow voters from all races to support the NFP by giving it their preferences.
He says the sharing of preferences between the parties will also be a strategic move to win the elections.
