Rekha 5: When the [[Lautoka]] Indian [[Communal Constituencies (Fiji)\|Communal seat]] became vacant in April 1984 following the resignation of the former leader of the NFP, [[Jai Ram Reddy]], Rakkha was selected to contest the by-election for the NFP. [[Davendra Singh]], a virtually unknown small businessman, managed to persuade the [[NFP Youth Wing]], which had earlier been shunned by Koya, to support him to oppose Rakkha. Singh demanded that a local person be selected by NFP for the vacant seat but when he was ignored by the Party, he nominated himself for the election. The result was a narrow win for Singh by 2209 votes to Rakkha's 2196 votes in an election in which only 4421 of the 12,260 registered voters cast their votes. The election result triggered a series of events which led to the decline of the NFP and the rise of the [[Fiji Labour Party]] (FLP).
