Nasinu Town Council
Nasinu is governed by a Town Council of 21 members, the largest municipal body in Fiji in terms of the resident population. The Councillors, who serve three-year terms, elect a Mayor for a term of one year, renewable any number of times. The last municipal polls, held on 22 October 2005, were won by the Fiji Labour Party (FLP), which took 14 seats against 7 for the Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua (SDL), which had previously controlled the council. The SDL Councillors boycotted the first session of the new council, which elected Rajeshwar Kumar as Mayor, and threatened to challenge the election results in court.

With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
