 Hamish McDonald, interviewing Bainimarama for the "Sydney Morning Herald" in October 2007, described it as "a revolution against the country's chiefly and church establishment".He quoted Bainimarama's criticism of the chiefly provincial councils, for allegedly dictating to indigenous citizens whom they should vote for, and of the Methodist Church, for allegedly encouraging indigenous "hatred" against Indo-Fijians.A new constitution was adopted in 2013 and the first elections after the coup were held in September 2014 with Bainimarama's party winning a majority.
