Haʻapai 12 is an electoral constituency for the Legislative Assembly in the Kingdom of Tonga. It was established for the November 2010 general election, when the multi-seat regional constituencies for People's Representatives were replaced by single-seat constituencies, electing one representative via the first past the post electoral system. Located in the Haʻapai island group, it encompasses the villages of Pangai, Hihifo, Ha‘ato‘u, Navea, Holopeka, Koulo, ‘Uiha, Felemea, and Lofanga. It is one of two constituencies in Haʻapai, the other being Haʻapai 13. (The number does not mean that it is the twelfth in Haʻapai, but in the country.)[1]
