Timeline

1950

Viliame "Bill" Rogoibulu Gavoka (born 8 July 1950) is a Fijian politician and Cabinet Minister.

2009

He was the Chairman of the Fiji Visitors Bureau but was removed from the post in 2009 by the Frank Bainimarama-led government.

In May 2009, he was appointed the chairman of the Fiji Rugby Union.

2010

In June 2010, he made media headlines when he "prophesied" a natural disaster would hit Fiji on June 23 at 2.30 pm.

He was charged for spreading rumours.

His involvement in the 1 million dollar lottery scandal at FRU eventually led to him being sacked for the 2nd time as a chairman after Fiji's Commerce Commission found that the lottery had been improperly run.

He joined the Fiji Holding Limited board as a director soon after.

2014

In July 2014, he resigned from the Fiji Holding board to enter politics.

Gavoka joined the SODELPA and ran in the 2014 general elections.

He was elected an MP with 3,690 votes.

2016

He contested the party leadership in 2016 following the resignation of Teimumu Kepa, losing to Sitiveni Rabuka.

2018

He was re-elected at the 2018 election, winning 3536 votes.

2020

From 28 November 2020 to 2022 he was leader of the Social Democratic Liberal Party, after ousting Sitiveni Rabuka in the SODELPA leadership contest.

Gavoka studied at Ratu Kadavulevu School when he was younger.

He studied at the University of the South Pacific for his tertiary education.

In 2020 a dispute in SODELPA over the election of the party president led to different factions holding rival AGMs and to the suspension of the party by the Registrar of Political Parties.

Following the lifting of the suspension, the party held a leadership contest, which was won by Gavoka.

Following Gavoka's win, former leader Sitiveni Rabuka resigned from Parliament.

On 9 December 2020, SODELPA MP's voted to install Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu as leader of the opposition rather than Gavoka, causing further tension in the party.

During the 2022 election, SODELPA won three seats but became the kingmaker as neither FijiFirst nor the National Federation Party-People's Alliance coalition obtained a majority.

Once the final results were released, on 19 December, Gavoka's tenure as leader ended in accordance with SODELPA's constitution, which requires the party to choose a new leader if it fails to gain a parliamentary majority.

SODELPA's General Secretary, Lenaitasi Duru, announced the party would not elect a successor until its annual general meeting in 2024.

On 24 December 2022 he was appointed a Deputy Prime Minister (one of three) and Minister for Tourism and Civil Aviation in the coalition government of Sitiveni Rabuka.

On 22 January 2024 he was appointed Minister of Education following the dismissal of Aseri Radrodro.

Gavoka's daughter, Ela married Fiji's attorney general, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, a wedding which he did not attend.
