2011 Samoan by-elections

Four simultaneous by-elections were held in Samoa on 29 July 2011. They followed on from the general election on 4 March, after which the results in several constituencies had been challenged. The Supreme Court voided

• the election of Va'ai Papu Vailupe (of the Tautua Samoa Party) in the Vaisigano No.1 constituency due to bribery and treating,
• the election of Alai'asa Filipo Schwartz Hunt (elected as an independent, but who had then joined the Human Rights Protection Party) in the Anoamaa East constituency due to corruption,
• the election of Taua Kitiona Seuala (of the Human Rights Protection Party) in the Aleipata Itupa I Luga constituency due to corruption, and
• the election of Tavu'i Tiafau Salevao (of the Human Rights Protection Party) in the Satupaitea constituency due to bribery and treating.

Consequently, by-elections were held for those four seats to the Legislative Assembly. The governing Human Rights Protection Party won all four by-elections, giving it a total of 37 seats out of 49 in the Assembly, one more than it had had following the general election. The opposition Tautua Samoa Party was left with 12 seats.
