Tuʻihaʻangana was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Tonga as a noble representative for Haʻapai in 1991.[1] In February 2006 he was appointed Speaker, replacing Lord Veikune following his conviction on tax evasion and bribery charges.[1] He lost his seat at the 2008 election.[2] Following his election loss he was appointed Governor of Haʻapai.[3]
He was re-elected in the 2014 election. During this term he opposed the government of ʻAkilisi Pōhiva, tabling a no-confidence motion in 2017.[4]
He was re-elected again by the nobles in the 2017 election,[5] and in 2021.[6]
