2010 Vaisigano by-election

A by-election was held in the Vaisigano No.1 constituency in Samoa in May 2010. The by-election was precipitated by the disqualification from the Legislative Assembly of Va'ai Papu Vailupe for joining the Tautua Samoa Party,[1] and was scheduled for 14 May,[2] However, the Human Rights Protection Party did not stand a candidate, resulting in Ca'ai being elected unopposed.[3][4]

gollark: I still feel like you should be able to *say you support* multiple people.
