Human Rights Protection Party leader Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi arrived in Lepa to cast his vote.

The losing serving parliamentarian seemed jovial as he made his way with his entourage. Tuilaepa is one of the first political leaders sighted at the polling booths.

Previously uncontested, this year he faces competition from Faʻatuatua i le Atua Samoa ua Tasi Party’s Tupua John Tupua.

There are two other polling booths, Lepa, Aufaga and Saleapaga. Booths close at 3pm.
