Detailed Solution

In Fiji the vote of an indigenous Fiji has more value than that of an Indian.
Because of two military coups in 1987, the national constituencies were abolished under pressure from the Fijian ethnic-nationalists who opposed allowing non-indigenous electors to vote for indigenous Fijian candidates. So the vote of an indigenous Fijian has greater significance than that of an Indian Fijian. Since 1970, indigenous Fijians and Indo-Fijians have voted in separate communal seats, but "open" constituencies have existed under two of the three constitutions. Political parties are more racially coded and voting is more ethnically dependent. As the population is fairly evenly distributed, electoral victory in open constituencies appears to be contingent on the outcomes.
