However, it is still too early to know for sure what the final result will be," she said. "It may well have an impact on public confidence in the election and it will almost certainly have an impact on confidence in the Office of Elections and Saneem as Supervisor." "What we had to do was we had to delete the data that had been published, and then we had to then re-upload the data on the app," Mr Saneem said. "We have no faith really in the recommencement of the count after the glitch," he said. He said the glitch occurred during an upload of data to the mobile app, which caused a mismatch of some candidates' identification numbers between the data processing system and the mobile app. Counting of the provisional votes in the elections result app was suspended late last night after the FEO reported a glitch.

The claims from Rabuka were rebuffed by Fiji’s election supervisor, Mohammed Saneem, who blamed the glitch on voter data being uploaded to the app, rather than incorrect polling data within the system.

Election results app goes dark in Fiji, comes back with tally reversed (The Sydney Morning Herald)

Opposition leader Sitiveni Rabuka says the new data didn't match the raw information his party had from polling stations.

But his majority from the 2018 election sat at just 50.02 per cent after falling from almost 60 per cent in 2014. Bainimarama said he would “of course” respect the outcome of the democratic election. Rabuka said he had extended an invitation to include SODELPA – the party he led before he was ousted as leader – in a coalition. He said an interruption during the transfer of data to the app mismatched data to the wrong candidates. He said the data had to be re-uploaded, which fixed the “anomaly”. He said he did not have faith in the Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem to remain impartial.
