Tonga's Prime Minister resigns ahead of no confidence motion

Tonga’s Prime Minister Hon. Hu’akavameiliku (Siaosi Sovaleni) has resigned this morning, at the end of an emotional speech to parliament, ahead of a Motion for a vote of no Confidence that was expected to be tabled in parliament today. “I think Tonga has been through a lot, don’t need to put them through another vote and all that, so I might as well just resign and provide some kind of support moving forward,” he told Matangi Tonga.
