The 15-year-incumbent centrist FijiFirst government, led by Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama, tried to win a fourth term in government. The election resulted in a hung parliament. While FijiFirst had a plurality of seats and the highest number of votes, the new centre-right People's Alliance party, led by former Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, formed government and Rabuka became the next Prime Minister. The People's Alliance formed a coalition government with the two other parties that won seats: the centre-left National Federation Party (NFP; led by Biman Prasad) and the centre-right Social Democratic Liberal Party (SODELPA; led by Viliame Gavoka).
