AGM

Aisea Aholelei, a representative of the Kolomotu'a rugby club and current member of the TRU Board, said he was one of a group which was kept out of the AGM.

Aholelei said he was convinced security was put on the door to ensure candidate voting favoured chief executive Fe'ao Vunipola's preferred candidate for president.

The judgement effectively ruled out any decision or appointment made at the meeting, in May of last year, after the amended constitution was accepted as illegal.

This included the appointment of Prime Minister 'Akilisi Pohiva as TRU President, with the positions of the Board, CEO and President declared void and the original version of the constitution to be recognised.

The former Tonga Rugby Union CEO, Fuka Kitekei'aho, said a new administration should be sorted by the end of the year.
