Iakoba Italeli is a political figure and government minister from the Pacific nation of Tuvalu.

Political office

Since 2006 he has been Minister of Education and Sports, and Health, in the government of the Prime Minister of Tuvalu, Apisai Ielemia.

Constituency background

Italeli was elected to represent Nui in the Parliament of Tuvalu on a non-partisan basis; this lack of alignment is not unusual in the politics of Tuvalu; unusually for Tuvalu, Italeli represents a constituency where trilingualism is a feature, since many inhabitants of Nui originate from Kiribati, and thus speak Gilbertese, in addition to Tuvaluan and English, the fluency of which varies among local people.
