Warm congratulations to Lord Fakafanua, former Lord Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Tonga, on his nomination as Prime Minister-designate.

He has long been a champion of efforts to strengthen Tonga’s democracy, consistently supporting programmes that amplify the voices of Tonga’s most vulnerable groups within the nation’s highest decision-making body - youth, women, and people living with disabilities. This includes his support for the She Leads Fale Alea programme, which we have delivered since 2018.

We look forward to these important efforts being further advanced under his leadership in this new capacity.

Through engagements with youth across Tongatapu, Vava‘u, Ha‘apai, and ‘Eua, we heard clearly what the next generation expects from leadership - and what they now hope to see reflected in the choice of Prime Minister.
