A petition trying to oust the chief justice from his post because he is gay is still circulating around Tonga.
Welshman Malcolm Bishop took on the role this month.
Tonga's law criminalises 'acts of sodomy'.
RNZ's Tongan correspondent Kalafi Moala told Caleb Fotheringham a few thousand people are expected to sign the petition.
He says there will be a march to present the petition to the palace office.
