General elections were held in Tonga in May 1969.[1]

Electoral system

The Legislative Assembly had seven directly-elected members; three representing Tongatapu and nearby islands, two representing Haʻapai and two representing Vavaʻu and nearby islands.[2] A further seven members were elected by the nobility based on the same constituencies,[1] seven ministers (including the governors of Haʻapai and Vavaʻu) and a Speaker chosen by the monarch.[3]

Results

Three incumbent MPs (Pousima Afeaki and Lopeti Tofaimalaealoa of Haʻapai and Lopoi Tupou of Tongatapu) lost their seats.[1]
