The disputes involving one of the strongest ex-student associations in the kingdom have escalated to legal proceedings.
Kaniva News understands that officials within the Mormon Church’s Liahona and Sainehā high schools alumni association have sought judicial decision following disputes over the organization’s presidential position.
The conflict emerged following the election of ‘Epalahame Taukei’aho as the new president during the association’s annual general meeting (AGM).
According to various reports, former President Pita Hopoate and his supporters challenged the election results.
We have been told that the legal proceedings follow a recent meeting between the two parties in Tonga.
The agenda included holding a reconciliation, but unfortunately, it did not work out as they had hoped.
The incident divided the organization’s members, with one report claiming that the association had invested up to TOP$ 5 million.
Some members sided with Hopoate, while others stood by Taukei’aho.
