Aman Ravindra Singh is a Fijian politician of Indian descent. He is currently the Assistant Secretary of the Fiji Labour Party and an eminent human rights and constitutional lawyer in Fiji. The Fiji Labour Party National Council appointed Singh as their parliamentary leader in preparation for general elections to be taking place in 2019. The Party leader, Mahendra Chaudhary also announced that if Labour Party wins the general elections in 2019, Singh will become the Prime Minister.[1]

Political career[]

Singh began his political career as the General Secretary of the People's Democratic Party during the 2014 General Elections in Fiji. The Party failed to secure any seats in parliament and Aman later resigned from the Party citing disagreement with Party's board members.[2]

In 2015, Singh had claimed that he received threats for his involvement in high profile sedition cases in the country.[3] Later in 2018 he became part of another controversy when he accused the Prime Minister, Frank Bainimarama and the Attorney General, Aiyaz Khaiyum behind the attacks on the Hindu community, creating a climate of fear and promise of security later.[4] Proceedings were filed in the High Court of Fiji by the Prime Minister and the Attorney General suing him for defamation against posting unsubstantiated comments on his facebook page titled " Regime Dirty Politics".[5]
