Head of state
Sourced
The next general election has not yet been held. Wikipedia's election page, edited on 12 October 2026, says it is due by 6 February 2027 and has not yet been scheduled (source: fji-wiki-election-2026). The government in office is still the coalition formed after the December 2022 election. No full official list of ministers could be read: the Fiji Government and Prime Minister's Office pages returned errors or redirects. Seats therefore rest on Wikipedia's cabinet table, updated with news reports of changes in 2025 and 2026. Esrom Immanuel's title is given as Minister for Finance because Commerce and Business Development moved to Manoa Kamikamica on 4 August 2026; no source states Immanuel's new title. After Agni Deo Singh died on 12 September 2026, the Employment, Productivity and Industrial Relations portfolio is not recorded, because no successor or acting minister was found.
