The Social Democratic Liberal Party (SODELPA), which gained six seats, continued as the opposition while the National Federation Party retained its three seats.[3]

Members of the Parliament of Fiji are elected from a single nationwide constituency by open list proportional representation with an electoral threshold of 5%. Seats are allocated using the d'Hondt method.[6][7]
