Opposition HRPP Members of Parliament

HRPP MPs in Samoa have been sworn-in

The speaker, Papali'i Lio Masipau, had banned elected members of the opposition HRPP from attending this week's parliament sessions and has refused to swear them in.

On Thursday, however, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the HRPP saying the speaker is obligated to swear in its elected members.

Papali'i has banned the opposition MPs for what he saw as their continued denial of the legitimacy of the FAST government.
