Tongatapu 5 is an electoral constituency for the Legislative Assembly in the Kingdom of Tonga. It was established for the November 2010 general election, when the multi-seat regional constituencies for People's Representatives were replaced by single-seat constituencies, electing one representative via the first past the post electoral system. Located in the central-western part of the country's main island, Tongatapu, it encompasses the villages of Kanokupolu, Haʻatafu, Kolovai, Haʻavakatolo, ʻAhau, Foʻui, Teʻekiu, Masilamea, Nukunuku, Matafonua, Matahau, Vaotuʻu, Fahefa, Kalaʻau, Haʻutu, and ʻAtata.[1]

Its first ever representative in 2010 was ʻAisake Eke, who was not a member of any political party, and was a first time MP. Of Tongatapu's ten constituencies, Tongatapu 5 was the only one not to be won by the Democratic Party of the Friendly Islands, but Eke was viewed as a pro-democracy independent close to the party, and had even considered running as a party member.[2][3] For the 2014 election, he did exactly that, and retained his seat, this time for the Democratic Party.[4][5] Eke lost the seat to Losaline Ma'asi in 2017, but regained it at the 2021 election.[6][7]
