See main article: Parliament of Tuvalu. This is a list of the members of the Parliament of Tuvalu or Palamene o Tuvalu as elected at the 2019 Tuvaluan general election.[1] [2] [3] [4]
There are no formal parties in Tuvalu. The political system is based on personal alliances and loyalties derived from clan and family connections.[5] 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.
