Vaisigano by-election, 2010

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A by-election was held in the Vaisigano No.1 constituency in Samoa in May 2010. The by-election was precipitated by the disqualification from the Legislative Assembly of Va'ai Papu Vailupe for joining the Tautua Samoa Party,[1] and was scheduled for 14 May,[2] However, the Human Rights Protection Party did not stand a candidate, resulting in Ca'ai being elected unopposed.[3][4]
