Parveen Kumar Bala is a Fijian politician who currently serves as Minister for Local Government, Urban Development, Housing and Environment, to which he was appointed following the general elections of 2014. He previously served as Mayor of the Fijian town of Ba. and subsequently as Special Administrator of Lautoka, Fiji. He is a former President of the Fiji Local Government Association ==Pre-coup== Bala was first elected Mayor of Ba in 1996. He was re-elected unopposed by the town council on 28 October 2005, after leading his National Federation Party (NFP) to a landslide victory in the municipal elections held on 22 October, taking 14 of the 15 seats. Bala attributed his victory to his policies and personnel. The NFP was, he claimed, the only political party promoting multiracialism and harmony, as evidenced by its multiracial slate of candidates. He accused the Fiji Labour Party of playing "gutter-level politics" in its unsuccessful campaign to oust him. Bala was also an unsuccessful NFP candidate for the House of Representatives in the 2001 election. He polled 28 percent of the vote in the Ba East Indian Communal Constituency, a marginal improvement on Ram Lajendra's showing in the previous election of 1999. He made another attempt in the 2006 election; his vote dropped marginally, but by considerably less than that of most other NFP candidates in what was a bad year for the party. On 7 December 2005, the NFP named Bala to a 3-member "negotiating cmmittee", charged with negotiating electoral pacts with other political parties for the parliamentary election due in 2006. Parveen Bala is the only mayor in Fiji to have served for 12 years continuously. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Parveen Bala」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
