  • The Freedom Alliance (FAP), formerly the Freedom Alliance Party and Fiji United Freedom Party (FUFP), is a currently deregistered political partyinFiji. The party's interim president is Jagath Karunaratne.[2] The party aims to provide a platform for youth.

    The party applied for registration in May 2014[2] but the application was rejected due to insufficient valid signatures.[3] The party lodged a second application for registration in July,[4] and this was accepted on August 1, 2014.[5]

    It contested the general election held in September 2014, but did not win any seats.

    In June 2018 the party changed its name to the "Freedom Alliance"[6] following the conviction of its leader for sedition.[7] In October 2018 it signed a partnership agreement with the Fiji Labour Party to join forces for the 2018 election.[8] The party submitted a joint list of 25 candidates, including 6 women.[9] However the joint list failed to win any seats, winning only 2,800 votes.
