No date has been set for by-elections in Samoa as a result of election petitions cases from the April 9 General elections.

Pending the results of the by elections, the 51 parliamentary seats stand at 26 for FAST and 20 for the HRPP.
The new Speaker of Parliament, Papalii Li'o Ta'eu Masipa'u says he has not received any formal notification of the results of the 28 electoral petitions from April general election.
He says once he receives the notification he will issue the warrants for the by-elections and the process will start.
