Samoan MP gets local backing to remain in party

This was the outcome of a meeting between Laauli and his constituency last week.

A split occured between Laauli and the party after he voted against government-backed Constitutional amendments.

The party whip said Laauli was removed from the party after the executive unanimously agreed for his membership to be revoked.

Laauli, who is a former cabinet minister and speaker, said he accepted his constituency's desire for him to remain in the party.
