Samoa First (Samoan : Faʻamuamua Samoa ), officially the Samoa First Political Party , is a political party in Samoa . The party is nationalist , supporting the protection of customary lands[1] and opposing Chinese immigration.[2] It is led by Unasa Iuni Sapolu .[3]
The party was registered in July 2018.[4] In March 2019 the party unsuccessfully contested the Fa'asalelega No. 2 byelection.[5] [6] Following the by-election the party's candidate, Lema'i Faioso Sione, was banished from his village for not supporting the candidate backed by the village council.[7] [8]
The party held its official launch in February 2020.[9] It then began to prepare to contest the 2021 Samoan general election .[10] [11]
In May 2020 the party joined other opposition parties in calling for the Land and Titles Bill to be delayed.[12]
The party launched its manifesto in October 2020, promising to repeal the Land Titles Registration Act 2008. It initially endorsed 10 candidates for the 2021 election.[13] but ultimately only nominated 6.[14] On 11 December 2020 the party announced an electoral alliance with the Tautua Samoa Party and Sovereign Independent Samoa Party , under which the parties would support each other's candidates in seats where they are not running against one another.[15]
During the 2021 election the party did not win any seats and earned a total of 207 votes nationwide.[16]
