Head of state
SourcedRepresented by the Governor-General, Temukisa Auina Penehuro Hauma, the first woman in the post, sworn in on 30 September 2026 for a four-year term in succession to Reverend Sir Tofiga Vaevalu Falani (source: tuv-pina-gg-2026).
No official Government of Tuvalu page listing ministers could be found or opened, so every claim is sourced. The Cabinet list is the one appointed on 27 February 2024 (PINA and Wikipedia's Teo Ministry page); no reshuffle since then was found, but none could be ruled out from an official source. Spellings follow PINA (Wikipedia gives 'Panapasi Nelesoni' and 'Tuafafa Latasi'). Wikipedia's Cabinet of Tuvalu page also lists Ampelosa Manoa Tehulu as Minister of Public Works, Infrastructure and Water, but his own Wikipedia page says his ministerial term ended on 27 February 2024 and the Teo Ministry page omits him, so he is not listed.
