List of members of the Legislative Assembly of Samoa (2011–2016)

Members of the Legislative Assembly of Samoa were elected on 4 March 2011. The Legislative Assembly consisted of 49 representatives, elected from six two-seat and 35 single-seat territorial constituencies, and two non-territorial constituencies. Only two of the MPs were women following the general election, a decline from four in the previous Parliament.[1] A third woman, Faimalotoa Kika Stowers, joined them after winning a by-election in August 2014.[2]

Summary of changes

• Following the general election, the elections in four constituencies were voided by the Supreme Court due to acts of corruption (such as bribery and treating). Simultaneous by-elections were held in all four constituencies on 29 July 2011. The Human Rights Protection Party retained its seats in Anoamaa East (new MP: Alo Fulifuli Taveuveu), Aleipata Itupa I Luga (Fagaaivalu Kenrick Samu) and Satupaitea (Lautafi Fio Selafi Purcell), and won the seat of Vaisigano No.1 from the Tautua Samoa Party, with the election of Tufuga Gafoleata Faitua.[3]
• Tuilo'a Anitele'a Tuilo'a (HRPP MP for Gaga'ifomauga 1) died on 9 June 2014, leading to a by-election on 15 August.[4] Faimalotoa Kika Stowers (HRPP) was elected to replace him, bringing the number of women in Parliament to three.[2]
