Prime Minister of Tuvalu
Latasi was the fourth Prime Minister of Tuvalu from 1993 to 1996. While many Tuvaluan politicians tend to avoid organizing themselves along partisan lines, Latasi is noted for his republican leanings, together with another former Prime Minister of Tuvalu, the late Ionatana Ionatana. These leanings for a while distanced Latasi somewhat from the constitutional link with the Crown.
