The 2010 Tongan Legislative Assembly was established following the 2010 elections, the first under a new system which saw the majority of seats elected by universal suffrage.[1] The Taimi Media Network described it as "Tonga's first democratically elected Parliament".[2]

The Speaker of the 2010 Assembly was Lord Lasike,[3] until he lost his seat in Parliament on 18 July 2012, following conviction for illicit ammunitions ownership. He was replaced as Speaker by Lord Fakafanua.[4] The Deputy Speaker was initially Lord Tuʻiʻafitu,[3] until he was appointed Minister for Health on 2 July 2012, whereupon he was replaced by Lord Tu'iha'teiho.[5]
