Samoa PM says Tuilaepa talking rubbish

Opposition leader, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, attacked the FAST Party for staging what he called a 'bloodless coup, destroying the Constitution in the process.

He hit out at New Zealand for not supporting his HRPP party and its involvement in the appointment of five temporary judges, after months of legal battles all lost by the HRPP.

Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata'afa said its more of the 'blame game' from Tuilaepa.

During a TV interview on Sunday night he said he looked forward to working with the new FAST government.

Tuilaepa said he has asked Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata'afa to give him and his government seven days to move out of his office.

Even at the end of last week Tuilaepa was refusing to concede that he lost the election.

The concession followed the Head of State Tuimalealiifano Vaaletoa Sualauvi congratulating Fiame, who is now the first female Prime Minister of Samoa and her FAST party.
