Samoa Party
The Samoa Party was a small party of Samoa. The party was founded in September 2005 by former auditor-general Su'a Rimoni Ah Chong on a platform of restoring the independence of watchdog institutions such as the Auditor-General.[1] The party also aimed to provide free education,[2] and impose a term limit on future Prime Ministers of two terms.[3] During the 2006 Samoan general election, it did not secure any seats.[4]
The party was disbanded in September 2010 and merged with the Tautua Samoa Party. Samoa Party leader Feo Nemaia Esau explained that the merger would form a more "united opposition" to the ruling Human Rights Protection Party.[5]
