Fiame Naomi Mataafa is poised to become Samoa\u2019s first female prime minister, after the Pacific nation\u2019s top court helped break a month-long political impasse that followed a tightly contested April election.<\/p>\n

Samoa\u2019s Supreme Court on Monday afternoon overruled an attempt by the head of state Tuimalealiifano Vaaletoa Sualauvi II to void the election results,\u00a0local media reported.<\/p>\n

The top court also separately rejected the post-election creation of an additional parliamentary seat by the electoral commission that briefly gave the incumbent government a majority.<\/p>\n

The court decisions clear the path for Mataafa\u2019s FAST party to form a government, ending the rule of Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, who has fought to hold onto power after governing for more than 20 years, making him one of the longest-serving leaders in the world.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear if there are legislative or legal avenues open to Malielegaoi to challenge Mataafa, who now has a slim majority in the 51-member parliament.<\/p>\n

FAST, in a statement on social media, said the \u201cunanimous verdict reached by a panel of justices of the Supreme Court on Monday FAST Party the majority to form government with 26 seats to their rivals, the Human Rights Protection Party\u2019s 25\u201d.<\/p>\n

Malielegaoi\u2019s government did not immediately respond to questions on Monday.<\/p>\n

In the capital Apia, Mataafa\u2019s supporters, dressed in red, celebrated the legal decisions by singing outside the court building, video footage showed.<\/p>\n

Mataafa is a former deputy prime minister who split with the government last year after opposing changes to Samoa\u2019s constitution and judicial system.<\/p>\n

Malielegaoi has also faced criticism in recent years over his handling of a\u00a0measles crisis in 2019\u00a0which killed 83, mainly young people, and the government\u2019s close relationship with China.<\/p>\n

The ruling HRPP has been in power since 1982, apart from a brief coalition period in 1986-87 and Malielegaoi has held the top job for 22 years.<\/p>\n

Samoa, which has a population of 220,000, gained independence in 1962 after nearly 50 years as a New Zealand protectorate.<\/p>\n

The Pacific nation shut its borders early in the coronavirus pandemic and has any avoided widespread community transmission of COVID-19 infections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
