Qarase has said that he will abide by the constitutional provision and offer a place in his government to Chaudhry's party. The Fijian constitution mandates that any party with more than 8 seats must be offered a place in the government. However Qarase did make it evident that he did not want Chaudhry to accept this offer.

Mahendra Chaudhry has claimed widespread vote rigging and plans court action to challenge the election result. Election monitors however have said the poll was credible.
