Announcing the second election earlier this month, Tuimalealiifano Vaaletoa Sualauvi II told Samoans it was the best way to break the political deadlock that emerged after last month's election.
However the court today found that he had no constitutional power to call for the election while outstanding matters relating to April's election were still unresolved.
This decision follows another ruling by the court earlier today which gave FAST an electoral majority, by voiding the addition of an un-elected extra women's seat.
