Tereapii (Apii) Piho (born 25 August 1960) is a Cook Islands politician and former Cabinet Minister.
Piho was born on Rakahanga and educated in New Zealand.[1] He was first elected to Parliament for the seat of Manihiki as a member of the Cook Islands Democratic Party at the 2006 election, defeating Cook Islands Party leader Henry Puna.[2]
In December 2009 he was appointed to Cabinet following the sacking of Terepai Maoate and resignation of Democratic party cabinet ministers.[3] holding the portfolios of Justice, Health, Internal Affairs, Youth & Sports, and NGOs.[4] As a result, he was expelled from the Democratic Party on 8 April 2010.[5]
Piho failed to win re-election in the 2010 election and was defeated by Henry Puna.
