The Faatuatua i le Atua Samoa ua Tasi (FAST) Party leader and her newly-elected Members of Parliament took their oath of office in a makeshift Parliament after they were locked out of the main complex this morning.
Tuala Tevaga Iosefo Ponifasio has been appointed Deputy Prime Minister.
Under Samoa's constitution, parliament must sit within 45 days of the election and today marked the last day to do that.
FAST Party members turned up to Parliament for a swearing in ceremony this morning only to find that they had been locked out.
