Samoa election result likely to be tested in court

The HRPP leader and caretaker Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi confirmed that his party will take the FAST party to court for 'treading on the rule of law'.

The FAST Party leader Fiame Naomi Mataafa said going to court after elections was part of the normal process.

As the final vote count continues, the preliminary numbers are unchanged, with HRPP and FAST at 25 seats each, plus one independent.

Fiame, who may become the next prime minister, said the support of the country's diaspora for her FAST party was critical for her party.
