Samoa's election will take place on August 29, when the south Pacific nation will head to the polls in an intriguing contest.
The election is taking place a year earlier than expected, following the collapse of Fiame Naomi Mata'afa's government.
When elected in 2021, Fiame ended four decades of rule by the Human Rights Protection Party (HRPP), and the 23-year prime ministership of Tuila'epa Sa'ilele Malielegaoi.
