A constitutional crisis began in Samoa on 22 May 2021 when O le Ao o le Malo (Head of State) Tuimalealiifano Va'aletoa Sualauvi II stopped the meeting of the Legislative Assembly from meeting in the aftermath of the general election in April 2021.[2][3][4][5]
Court rulings had supported the election results, giving a parliamentary majority to the Faʻatuatua i le Atua Samoa ua Tasi (FAST) party, led by Fiamē Naomi Mataʻafa. On 24 May 2021, a ceremony was held outside of Parliament to swear in Mata'afa as prime minister. On 23 July the Court of Appeal declared that the ceremony legit.[6][7]
