the incumbent party leader following the general election defeat. Fahie disagreed as he believed the majority of party members would prefer him to take over as leader following the party's disastrous electoral defeat. As the Constitution required that the Leader of the Opposition commanded a support of the "majority" of the opposition members, and the only two opposition members disagreed, there was an impasse. Governor John Duncan gave the men a month to resolve their differences, but they were unable to do so, and eventually the Governor appointed Fraser as the official Leader of the Opposition. Fahie later ousted Fraser as party leader, and was appointed Leader of the Opposition in his stead.

Fahie did not deny that an investigation took place, but contended that no action was taken against him as a result of the investigation. He called the allegations "outdated, unproven, and unsubstantiated". 2022 On 28 April 2022, Fahie
