Fiji's military will assist police in maintaining "security and stability", the country's police commissioner said in a social media post on Thursday - a move that comes after last week's election delivered a hung parliament.
Fiji is waiting for its president to recall parliament so lawmakers can vote for a new prime minister after a national election last week showed no major party received a clear majority.
Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama's Fiji First has not conceded defeat, while a coalition of three parties say they have a combined majority and have agreed on People's Alliance leader Sitiveni Rabuka as prime minister.
