Coup leader 2 beats coup leader 1

The Herald reports:

Fiji has re-elected Frank Bainimarama as Prime Minister for four more years following an election interrupted by foul weather and facing Opposition claims of a lack of transparency.

According to the Fijian Electoral Commission, Bainimarama’s FijiFirst party won 50.2 percent of the vote to claim 27 of the 51 seats in Fijian Parliament.

The Social Democratic Liberal Party (Sodelpa), led by rival coup leader Sitiveni Rabuka, won 39.9 per cent of the vote, enough for 21 seats.

Somewhat amused that the choice for Prime Minister was between the 1987 coup leader and the 2006 coup leader!

Still I’d say the right coup leader won.
