Kiriau Turepu is a Cook Islands politician and former Cabinet Minister. He is a member of the Cook Islands Party.
Turepu was educated at Northland College in New Zealand.[1] He represented the Cook Islands in tennis at the 1971 South Pacific Games in Papeete, Tahiti.[2]
Turepu was first elected to Parliament in the 2006 Matavera by-election.[3] As a result, the government lost its majority and dissolved Parliament to avoid a confidence vote.[4] He was unsuccessful in the ensuing 2006 election, but was re-elected at the 2010 election.
