STORYLINE:
Fiji's military ruler declared a state of emergency and swore in his choice of caretaker prime minister on Wednesday, as the police chief and the ousted elected leader urged peaceful resistance to defy the coup.
Commodore Frank Bainimarama, who seized power on Tuesday by claiming presidential powers and dismissing the elected government, swore in political novice Dr Jona Senilagakali as caretaker prime minister at a ceremony at the main military barracks in the capital, Suva.
Bainimarama ordered the state of emergency, saying a security cordon would immediately be set up around Suva, check points established at strategic points in the city, and that all military reserves would be "marched into" military camps to support the regime.
Earlier on Wednesday, Fijian Senators met in the legislature and continued their weekly session until troops entered the house and told the lawmakers to end the sitting, which they did.
Soldiers were seen walking around the Senate compound before entering the house and closing the session.
The president of the Senate adjourned the session until Thursday morning.
The senators then left the compound and soldiers closed the house.
"It is a sad day for Fiji, nobody wants it (the coup)," said Fijian senator, Lavinia Wainiqolo Padarath. "Nobody has the power right now but the military, to do anything. We'll see what takes place next."
Meanwhile, later on Wednesday, Cabinet members gathered at Qarase's house for a meeting to discuss what their next move would be.
