Biography

When the Legislative Assembly was established in 1948, Tulele was chosen to represent Vaisigano by the three Fautua (high chiefs).[1] He was re-elected in 1951, but lost his seat in the 1954 elections.

He returned to the Legislative Assembly after winning the Vaisigano No. 1 seat in the 1964 elections, defeating future Prime Minister Va'ai Kolone by six votes.[2] He did not contest the 1967 elections, and was succeeded by Kolone.
