SUVA, Fiji (AP) — International observers endorsed the landmark Fiji election as credible on Thursday, although most smaller political parties said they would not accept what appeared to be a decisive win for the South Pacific country's military ruler. Five of the seven registered political parties that contested the election called on authorities to suspend the vote count until their complaints were investigated, but Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem said Thursday he had rejected their request. The group noted some shortcomings, including a complex voting system and a short timeframe for the election, resulting in some problems with voter registration and early voting.
