fida hussein -lrb- born 1946 -rrb- is a fiji indian who served in the fiji police force and as a sales consultant before being elected to the house of representatives of fiji .
he was born in rewa and after completing his education joined the fiji police force in 1964 .
in 1981 he resigned from the force and became a sales representative for the `` fiji times '' , later becoming a sales consultant for a publishing firm .
he was an active member of the fiji muslim league and during the suva city council elections is credited with launching a strong campaign amongst muslims to vote for the fiji labour party .
for the 1987 general election , the nfp -- labour coalition chose fida hussein , a muslim , for the south eastern indian national constituency because of the large muslim population in the area and to blunt the effect of the alliance party 's courting of muslim voters .
he won the seat , once a stronghold of the alliance party , but was a member of parliament for a month when the military coup of 1987 prematurely ended his political career .
