A group led by
George Speight
takes Prime Minister

.
[

]
Speight names
Timoci Silatolu
interim Prime Minister.

.
May 20, 2000
The military and police pledge loyalty to Mara.
May 26, 2000
Fifteen soldiers and two officers defect to the coup.
May 27, 2000
The rebels try to break the siege. Gunfire is exchanged.
President Mara dismisses Mahendra Chaudhry and appoints
Ratu Tevita Momoedonu
as Prime Minister in his place. Momoedonu holds office for only a few minutes: he is appointed in order to "advise" the President to assume emergency powers, something that Chaudhry, in captivity, is unable to do. Mara claims to be following the
Great Council of Chiefs
. Mara offers Speight a
pardon
, which Speight rejects. (Mara later accused the Great Council of Chiefs of deception: according to him, they had lost confidence in him also, although that did not become apparent until two days later).
May 29, 2000
Commodore
Frank Bainimarama
declares himself head of an Interim Military Government, with the claimed backing of the previous president, and declares martial law. (In an interview on 29 April of the following year, deposed President Mara denied that he had given Bainimarama his support. His resignation had been, he said, extorted from him, following his refusal of their request to abrogate the constitution).
May 30, 2000
Bainimarama revokes the 1997
constitution
and names
Ratu Epeli Nailatikau
interim Prime Minister. After opposition from Speight, he withdraws the nomination on 31 May.
June 7, 2000
Fiji is suspended from the
Commonwealth of Nations

July 13, 2000
Chaudhry and the other hostages are released. Ratu
Josefa Iloilo
named as interim President. Ratu
Jope Seniloli
is
Vice-President
.
July 27, 2000
Speight is arrested in contravention of an earlier accord granting him immunity from prosecution, an accord agreed to by the military, according to Bainimarama, only "under duress."
November 2, 2000
A failed mutiny at Suva's
Queen Elizabeth Barracks
leaves four loyal soldiers dead. Four rebels are subsequently beaten to death.
November 15, 2000
The
High Court
declares the interim government to be illegal, orders the reinstatement of the 1997 Constitution, of Mara as President and of the Chaudhry government. Mara resigns, backdating his resignation to 29 May. The government appeals the ruling.
March 1, 2001
The
Court of Appeal
upholds the High Court ruling reinstating the constitution.
