A lawyer who stood unsuccessfully in the past two Tongan elections is confident he can make it in next month's poll.
Tongans are to vote for a new parliament on the 16th November after King Tupou VI suddenly dissolved parliament in August.
Nominations for the election closed last week with 86 candidates to contest the 17 democratically elected seats in the parliament.
The lawyer Sione Fonua, who previously split his time between Auckland and Nuku'alofa, says being based in Tonga for the last 18 months will help.
