Tuʻipelehake
The Tuipelehake (or Tui Pelehake to be more consistent with similar titles, like Tui Tonga, Tui Haatakalaua and Tu'i Kanokupolu) is the second highest ranking chiefly title in Tonga. In the absence of the ancient Tui Faleua title, the Tuipelehake title is second in rank after the King's title, Tu'i Kanokupolu. There have been several holders of the title mainly from the ruling royal family, from princes to prime ministers. It is Tongan custom to refer to the holder by his customary title, only adding his given name if confusion may arise. For example, Tui Pelehake (Uluvalu).
The Estates of the Tui Pelehake are:
- Fatai a town estate in Nukualofa on Tongatapu
- Village of Pelehake in the eastern district on Tongatapu
- Village of 'Alakifonua in the eastern district on Tongatapu
- Tonga's main airport, Fuaamotu International Airport, is also situated on his estate and not, as the name misleadingly suggests, in neighbouring Fuaamotu.
- Village of Vaihoi in Vavau, close to the villages of Leimatu'a and Holonga
- Village of Foa in Haapai
