Saufatu Sopoanga was elected Prime Minister of Tuvalu in December 2002, succeeding Koloa Talake. He became head of government during a period of political instability. His election followed a no-confidence vote that ousted his predecessor.

Prime Minister Sopoanga faced a no-confidence vote in the Tuvalu Parliament in 2003, which he survived. The motion was brought by opposition members who accused him of mismanagement and failing to address economic issues. The vote highlighted ongoing political divisions.

Saufatu Sopoanga resigned as Prime Minister of Tuvalu in August 2004, following a no-confidence vote that he lost. The vote was triggered by a political crisis over budget and governance issues. He was succeeded by Maatia Toafa.
