constitution the last sentence in the lead section says the elections were to be held under the new constitution which gave fairer rights to native fijians lowered the voting age to and gave the right of multiple citizenship to fijians for the first time i'm not sure what that's meant to refer to particularly as it's unsourced in no sense were indigenous fijians deprived of fair rights prior to this constitution on the contrary it's the indo fijian minority which from the late s to the mid s and arguably even before that was subject to suspicion discriminatory measures and very occasionally racial violence the stated reason for the coup was to remove an indigenous supremacist government and put an end to racial politics and discrimination i'm consequently removing that part of the sentence
