Tonga's former prime minister, Pohiva Tu'i'onetoa, has lost a second electoral petition for bribing voters ahead of last year's election.
He, along with three current cabinet ministers, already has a stay on election petition losses announced last month.
RNZ Pacific's correspondent in Tonga, Kalafai Moala, told Don Wiseman about this latest setback for a man who led the country until just six months ago.
