Votes being counted in Fiji election

From Midday Report, 12:16 pm on 15 December 2022

To Fiji, where votes are being counted in the country's four-yearly elections.

A glitch in the Elections' Office app meant provisional results were temporarily taken down last night, and when the app was back up and running - the count was markedly different.

There are about 90 international observers in Fiji who were at 2500 polling booths yesterday, and in counting rooms today.

New Zealand has sent about 10 delegates, including the National Party MP Todd McClay who spoke with Māni Dunlop about what the observers were seeing.
