## Bio

Born ʻAho'eitu ʻUnuakiʻotonga Tukuʻaho on 12 July 1959, he served as Prime Minister from 2000 to 2006 during his father King Tāufaʻāhau Tupou IV's reign. When his elder brother ascended in 2006, he became heir presumptive - the brother had no legitimate children - and was posted to Canberra as Tonga's High Commissioner to Australia in 2008. He acceded in 2012 on his brother's death and was crowned three years later by the Reverend D'Arcy Wood. His reign has weathered the 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai eruption and tsunami, and a constitutional crisis born of his decision to dismiss members of Prime Minister Siaosi Sovaleni's cabinet.
