The last political party to be officially recognised as an opposition in Parliament suffers sweeping election defeat after unsuccessful bid to secure seats, following provisional results. 

Tautua Samoa Party fielded 14 candidates and struggled to keep up with the dominant Human Rights Protection Party (H.R.P.P.) and new political powerhouse Fa’atuatua i le Atua Samoa ua Tasi (F.A.S.T) after Friday’s election.
