Tonga's parliament

Man of the moment Lord Fakafanua is now Speaker of Tonga's parliament. Still in his twenties, he is probably the youngest in the Commonwealth to hold that position. Last week he played a prominent role in his sister's wedding to Crown Prince 'Ulukalala. The wedding itself had become the battleground for a power struggle within the royal family. Lord Fakafanua who is unmarried will no doubt need the assistance of his mother Princess 'Ofeina and uncle Prince Tu'ipelehake.
