Summary of changes Following the general election, the elections in four constituencies were voided by the Supreme Court due to acts of corruption (such as bribery and treating). Simultaneous by-elections were held in all four constituencies on 29 July 2011. The Human Rights Protection Party retained its seats in Anoamaa East (new MP: Alo Fulifuli Taveuveu), Aleipata Itupa I Luga (Fagaaivalu Kenrick Samu) and Satupaitea (Lautafi Fio Selafi Purcell), and won the seat of Vaisigano No.1 from the Tautua Samoa Party, with the election of Tufuga Gafoleata Faitua. Tuilo'a Anitele'a Tuilo'a (HRPP MP for Gaga'ifomauga 1) died on 9 June 2014, leading to a by-election on 15 August."Samoa ruling party backs four by-election candidates", Radio New Zealand International, 19 July 2014 Faimalotoa Kika Stowers (HRPP) was elected to replace him, bringing the number of women in Parliament to three.
