Tonga’s political landscape has a new captain at the wheel! 🏝️ Aisake Eke was elected as the Pacific nation’s prime minister on Tuesday, according to local media reports, marking a fresh chapter for the island kingdom.
Eke steps into the role following the resignation of Hu'akavameiliku Siaosi Sovaleni on December 9. While details about Eke’s policy priorities remain under wraps, the leadership shift signals potential updates to Tonga’s strategies on climate resilience, economic growth, and regional partnerships—key issues for the nation of 176 islands.
