48. Do political parties have to report on their election campaign finances?

No legislation exists.  The  Commonwealth Observers Report on national election in 2017 recommended that " should the trend toward a political party system in Tonga, consideration should be given to the development of a legal regulatory framework and a programme of public dialogue and civic education, which may be useful in addressing emerging issues, including in relation to campaign financing".

The issue is premature in the present stage of political development in Tonga which does not have a formal political party system.
