The Samoa Labour Party is a political party in Samoa. The party is led by Faʻaolesa Katopau Ainuʻu.[1]
The party was established in May 2024 by several former Human Rights Protection Party MPs, including Faʻaolesa Katopau Ainuʻu, Soʻoalo Umi Feo Mene, Tuisa Tasi Patea, and former HRPP candidate Su’a Tanielu Su’a.[2][1] It was registered with the electoral commission in June 2025.[1] The party launched its campaign on 14 June, announcing it would be running 14 candidates.[3] Its election policies include a national family welfare scheme, increasing the minimum wage, and turning Samoa into a manufacturing and trading hub using an export processing zone.[3] It aims to be part of a coalition government and advance its policies through coalition negotiations.[4]
