Democracy wins in Fiji

Stiveni Rabuka was elected Prime Minister of Fiji by a 28 to 27 vote of Parliament. This is basically the first peaceful transfer of power since 1999.

Frank Bainimarama has a very mixed record, but you have to give him credit that he has accepted the election outcome, and history should judge him well at least for his 2013 constitution that transformed Fiji from a race based government that treated non indigenous Fijians as second class citizens, to a true democracy.
