Rear Admiral Bainimarama criticised other parties for elitism, lacking courage and being desperate for votes.
He described the launch as historic.
"Today at 12th June, 2014, will go down in the annals of Fijian history as the day when Fiji's first truly modern, progressive, transparent, non-corrupt, nation-focussed and inclusive political party was officially launched."
