Premier Sir Toke Talagi will contest 2020 General Election

The Premier Sir Toke Talagi has publicly expressed his intentions of contesting the 2020 General Election.

While speaking at the launch of his book this morning at the Fale fono, Sir Toke Talagi called on those attending to support him in the 2020 General Election.

“2020 when you think about it, tick my name on the ballot box.” said Sir Talagi

Questions about the Premier’s health status has been a concern raised by several members of Parliament over recent months but the admission by the Premier that he will be contesting the next elections has apparently put those questions to rest.

The date of the 2020 General Election is yet to be formally announced.
