Premier of the Kingdom of Viti
- Premier of the Kingdom of Viti
In 1871, "Ratu" Seru Epenisa Cakobau, the Vunivalu (Warlord/Paramount Chief) of Bau, succeeded in unifying the previously warring tribes throughout the Fiji Islands by establishing the Kingdom of Viti, with the support of foreigners. Cakobau proceeded to set up a constitutional monarchy, in which both the legislature and the executive were dominated by foreigners.
The Cabinet (executive) was headed by a Premier. The following individuals held this office:
# Sydney C. Burt : 5 June 1871 - 18 May 1872
# George Austin Woods : 18 May 1872 - 23 March 1874
# John Bates Thurston : 23 March 1874 - 10 October 1874 (acting).
All existing government institutions were dissolved when Fiji became a British crown colony on 10 October 1874.
