This was the second election held under the 1997 constitution. The elections were between 25 August 2001 and 2 September 2001, fifteen months after rebel military personnel, led by George Speight, overthrew the government of Prime Minister, Mahendra Chaudhry. Speight and his gunmen stormed Parliament on 19 May 2000, taking the Prime Minster and most of his multi-racial cabinet hostage for 56 days. During the crisis, the military declared martial law and appointed Laisenia Qarase as caretaker Prime Minister.
The two major parties were the Soqosoqo Duavata Ni Lewenivanua / United Fiji Party (SDL) led by interim Prime Minister, Laisenia Qarase and the Fiji Labour Party (FLP) led by Mahendra Chaudhry. 18 parties fielded 351 cadidates for the 71 constituencies. International observers from the United Nations, the British Commonwealth and the European Union declared that the elections were free and fair. Nevertheless, the dismissed Prime Minister and leader of the Fiji Labour Party, Mahendra Chaudhry, alleged widespread vote-rigging.
Qarase's SDL won 31 seats at stake, while Chaudhry's FLP won 27. The nationalist Conservative Alliance/Matanitu Vanua (MV) of Speight emerged as holding the balance of power, as it won 7 seats. A coalition Government was sworn in on 12 September 2001 with Mr Qarase as Prime Minister. He included in his Cabinet members of the Conservative Alliance but excluded the ethnic Indian-dominated FLP.
