Quick facts Leader, Founded ...

The party's president was Sione Fonua, an Auckland-based lawyer. He planned to move to Tonga before the 2008 elections,[3] but did not aim to contest an election until 2010.[4]

The party ran four candidates in the 2010 elections,[5] but did not win any seats. It intended to recruit more members and candidates and contest the following elections in 2014.[6]

Whilst active the party ran on a vague platform, advocating caution regarding reforms, good governance and economic development; though it did not have a manifesto to explain what it meant by these ideals.[7] The party did not run any candidates at the 2017 election, and is now defunct.
