Matutu is deputising Secretary for Youths Pupurai Togarepi, who is also set to become the party’s chief whip in the 9th parliament.

ED News however tweeted hailing the move to replace Togarepi with Matutu saying the party was grateful that the Secretary Youth league boss was now someone under 50 years.
Said ED News:
