Mikaele Leawere
Mikaele Rokosova Leawere is a Fijian politician and former member of the Parliament of Fiji. He is a member of the Social Democratic Liberal Party.
Leawere worked as a teacher, but resigned his position in order to stand for election.
Leawere contested the 2014 elections as a SODELPA candidate, but was unsuccessful. He entered parliament in April 2015 after the death of SODELPA MP Viliame Tagiveitaua, as the highest-polling unelected SODELPA candidate.[1] A challenge to his election by the government on the grounds that he was disqualified due to working again as a public servant was dismissed.[2] In parliament, he served as shadow minister of Education.
Leawere was re-elected in the 2018 general elections,[3] winning 2,354 votes.
