Fiji's major opposition parties are demanding a full recount of the votes cast in this week's Fiji's national election, warning they may refuse to take their seats in the new parliament if their requests are ignored.
The People's Alliance Party (PAP) leader, former prime minister and military strongman Sitiveni Rabuka, has even raised the prospect of military intervention in the dispute, a suggestion which is likely to raise anxiety in Fiji which has suffered multiple military coups in recent decades.
