Frederick Vaka'uta Sevele (né vers 1945) est le Premier ministre du royaume des Tonga. Feleti est l'orthographe de Frederick en tongien.
He began his high school education at Apifo'ou College in Tonga, then went to school in Fiji at St John's College in Levuka on the island of Ovalau, and the Marist Brothers High School in Suva. He then attended St Bede's College in Christchurch, New Zealand, before going to the University of Canterbury where he graduated with a BSc in Math, a BA, an MA and a PhD in Economic Geography.
He was elected as one of nine People's Representatives to the Legislative Assembly or Fale Alea in 1999 and re-elected in 2002 and in 2005. He was appointed Minister for Labour, Commerce and Industries. As Minister he negotiated Tonga's becoming a member of the World Trade Organization in December 2005. In early 2006 he presented an Employment Relations Bill to Cabinet, based on the Fijian Bill of the same name, as a response to the public service strike of 2005.
He was appointed to the Prime Minister's position after the sudden resignation of Prince Lavaka Ata 'Ulukalala on February 11, 2006. His coming to this appointment was six months after a series of pro-democracy protests that called for a lesser role in government for the royal family. Sevele's role was made permanent by King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV, when His Majesty appointed Dr Sevele as the first citizen Prime Minister of Tonga on 30 March, 2006. Sevele is the country's first non-noble Prime Minister.
