politics and government of
Samoa

The 15th Samoan Parliament is the current term of the Parliament of Samoa. Its composition was determined by the 2011 elections.

The 15th Parliament consists of 49 representatives, elected from six two-seat and 35 single-seat territorial constituencies, and two non-territorial constituencies. Only two of the MPs were women following the general election, a decline from four in the previous Parliament.[1] A third woman, Kika Stowers, joined them after winning a by-election in August 2014.[2]
