The Fiji Labour Party says the faulty decision to disqualify Steven Singh from contesting next month's election must be promptly reversed or the poll could be delayed.
A lawyer for the Party, Anand Singh, says both the Electoral Commission and the Supervisor of Elections, Mohammed Saneem, have accepted that a conviction against Labour's Steven Singh had been set aside by the courts.
However the allocation of numbers for election candidates has gone ahead today without Steven Singh's inclusion.
The Electoral Commission boycotted the allocation process after the Supervisor claimed it was too late coming back on Friday with two changes, one of which would have had Steven Singh back on the Labour Party list.

Anand Singh says the lack of agreement between the two bodies is a fiasco.
He says the Party believes the onus is on the Electoral Commission to sort out the matter.
"We feel it is the Electoral Commission, which is, after all, the supervisory authority over the Supervisor of Elections, so this is something that they should be able to correct between themselves. Failing them correcting the current situation Steven Singh may have to go to court - that is something we are trying to avoid if possible."

248 candidates have been allocated numbers, starting at 135 and continuing consecutively through to 382.
Mr Singh says this process will have to be redone to include Steven Singh.
