The Sustainable Nation-Building Party (Tongan: Paati Langafonua Tuʻuloa) was a political party in Tonga. It was launched on August 4, 2007 in Auckland, New Zealand.[1] It was later launched in Tonga itself on August 18, 2007. [2]
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.
