The Supreme Court of Samoa rules that the swearing in of the FAST party-led government on May 24th was illegal. However, the court also orders that the Legislative Assembly of Samoa sit within seven days, giving the opposition FAST, led by Naomi Mataʻafa, the ability to form a new government. FAST currently holds 26 seats in parliament, while the caretaker HRPP government of Tuila'epa Sa'ilele Malielegaoi has 24 seats.
