HOPE (Humanity Opportunity Prosperity Equality) was a political party in Fiji. The party was led by former National Federation Party president Tupou Draunidalo, and supported multiculturalism, a higher minimum wage,[2] and the de-politicisation of the office of Attorney-General.[3]
The party was formed in March 2017 and immediately began campaigning for signatures for registration.[4][5] It applied for registration as a political party on July 4, 2018, and was registered on July 26.[6][7]
The party ran 28 candidates in the 2018 elections, 18 of which were women. It was the only Fijian party running a majority of female candidates.[8] It ruled out forming a coalition with the Social Democratic Liberal Party, as the party is led by 1987 coup leader Sitiveni Rabuka.[9]
The party failed to win any seats, winning only 2,811 votes. It was deregistered and effectively banned by the Fijian government in February 2022.[10]
