List of Tuvalu MPs, 2006–2010 explained

This is a list of members of the Parliament of Tuvalu or Palamene o Tuvalu as elected at the 2006 Tuvaluan general election:[1] [2]

There are no formal parties in Tuvalu. The political system is based on personal alliances and loyalties derived from clan and family connections.[1] The Parliament of Tuvalu is rare among national legislatures in that it is non-partisan in nature. It does tend to have both a distinct government and a distinct opposition.

Apisai Ielemia was appointed to be the Prime Minister of Tuvalu;[2] [3] and appointed his cabinet.
