Fuimaono Teo Samuelu
Fuimaono Te'o Samuelu Atiifale is a Samoan politician and former Member of the Legislative Assembly of Samoa. He is a member of the Human Rights Protection Party. Samuelu was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Samoa in the 2016 Samoan general election.[1] In July 2019 he was one of 18 MPs who voted in support of Lands & Titles Court President Fepuleai Atila Ropati, who had been convicted for assault, retaining his position.[2] In January 2021, during the leadup to the 2021 election, he criticised former O le Ao o le Malo Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Efi for appearing at FAST Party campaign events.[3] As a result he was fined by the village of Salani.[4] Fuimaono paid the fine, despite it being an apparent breach of Parliamentary privilege.[5] He was re-elected in the 2021 election, but his election was subsequently overturned by an election petition.[6] References
