About our Tongan Politics news

Latest news on Tongan politics, characterised by a unique blend of traditional monarchy and democratic governance.

Tonga's political landscape is rooted in its constitutional monarchy, where the King holds the position of Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. The Prime Minister is appointed by the King from Parliament members with majority support and leads the government. Tonga's current king is Tupou VI, with Siaosi Sovaleni serving as Prime Minister since 2021. Executive power lies with the Cabinet of Ministers, while legislative authority rests with the King in Parliament, and judicial power is vested in the Supreme Court

The prominent political parties in Tonga include the Democratic Party of the Friendly Islands (DPFI) and the Tonga People's Party (TPP). These parties often represent different factions within Tongan society, with the DPFI generally advocating for democratic reforms and the TPP often aligned with more traditional values.
