George Cakobau, Jr.

Ratu George Cakobau, Jr., also known as Ratu Jioji Cakobau, is a Fijian chief and political leader. The son of the late Governor-General, Ratu Sir George Cakobau, who was also the Vunivalu of Bau (widely considered to be Fiji's most senior chiefly position).[1] A meeting of elders from the Tui Kaba clan, to which he belongs, tentatively proposed him as the next Vunivalu in June 2005. The position has been vacant since the death of his father in 1989, owing to disagreements over the succession.

In 2001, Cakobau was appointed to the Senate by the Great Council of Chiefs, having been nominated by the Tailevu Provincial Council.
