A commission of inquiry into Fiji's 2006 general election claims to have found evidence of vote buying and vote rigging.
The inquiry was initiated by the Fiji Human Rights Commission and chaired by Suva lawyer G P Lala, with the other members being the former president of the SVT party and Rabuka government minister, Taufa Vakatale, and Dr David Neilson.
Fiji TV says it has obtained a copy of the report which is based on evidence given by 59 individuals and organisations.
The report claims it found evidence of irregularities, bias and corruption, as well as inappropriate vote influencing in the 2006 general election to the unfair advantage of the SDL party.
It says there was a concentration of all these factors in key urban constituencies.
The report says there were significant failures to ensure citizens' right to vote, in particular against ethnic Indian voters.
The report also criticises the Elections Office, saying there was a heavy ethnic bias in its employment of staff nearly all of whom were indigenous Fijians.
The report has been sent to the interim government, the Fiji Labour Party and the SDL party for their responses.
All international election observers deemed the election to be free and fair.
