The group was remanded to determine whether the charges they face should also go to the High Court.
Unless Speight is found guilty, he will share parliament with Chaudhry who today won his seat of Ba in the Indian-dominated western sugar belt by a two-thirds margin.
Earlier in the day, officials announced that Fiji's caretaker prime minister, Laisenia Qarase, had also won his seat.
Qarase was contesting an election for the first time. He won the Lau Fijian communal seat by 92 per cent, or 5,220 votes.
But at least four ministers of his caretaker administration lost their seats.
Chaudhry's Fiji Labour Party had already won 18 of the seats decided in early counting.
That was enough to guarantee it the offer of at least one cabinet place in whatever government is formed under Fiji's complicated constitution, which demands multi-racial representation.
Chaudhry can still turn down the offer of a cabinet place if his party does not win enough seats in Fiji's 71-seat parliament to determine the make-up of the government.
Most of the seats decided in early counting were among 19 set aside specifically for Indians, with indigenous Fijians having 23 guaranteed seats.
Many indigenous Fijians worry that ethnic Indians, who make up 44 per cent of the population, will match their economic power with political clout.
