Major General Sitiveni Rabuka, who led two military coups in Fiji, has cast doubt over whether the elections in Fiji will go ahead in 2014 as scheduled.
The former Fijian Prime Minister was the keynote speaker at the University of Canterbury's Democracy in the Pacific conference today.
He said he
hoped the elections would go ahead.
"But that hope is not based on very good grounds," he said.
"When we talk about democracy in the Pacific, one size does not fit all. Military has always had a presence in the Fiji culture. We think of militant ways of changing things, rather than waiting for the next elections.
