This month, the three branches of Sa Malietoa in Samoa seemingly reached an agreement on who should hold the paramount title, unanimously deciding to bestow it on Faamausili Moli, a son of the late head of state and title holder, Malietoa Tanumafili II.
There have been grumblings on social media but RNZI correspondent, Autagavaia Tipi Autagavaia, said members of the family had up to three months to contest the decision.
