The ruling Human Rights Protection Party (H.R.P.P.) has named four candidates to contest next month’s by-election for Gagaifomaiuga No. 1.
The by-election follows the death of M.P., Tuilo’a Anitele’a Tuilo’a (pictured below).
According to Radio New Zealand International, the four candidates, who include a former Cabinet Minister, were endorsed during a party committee meeting.

A former Minister of Justice and Legislative Assembly, Gaina Tino, is the frontrunner.
The former Director and C.E.O of Radio 2AP, Faimalotoa Kolotita Stowers will give him a good run for his money.
The other two H.R.P.P candidates are Lavea Ieti and Taito Vaea Tanu.
The Tautua Samoa opposition party has yet to announce a candidate.
The Electoral Commissioner, Papali’i Malietau Malietoa, says the by-election will be held on Friday 15 August.
