Tumua ma Puleono was a political party in Samoa. The party is named for the traditional honorifics of Upolu and Savaii, the two main islands of Samoa. Its secretary was John Peterson.[1]
The party opposed controversial constitutional amendments proposed by the Human Rights Protection Party government of Tuilaʻepa Saʻilele Malielegaoi and advocated for a greater voice for non-matai.[2] It contested the 2021 Samoan general election. As of 29 August 2020 the party had recruited three candidates to contest seats for it.[3]
On 2 September 2020 the party announced it would join forces with the Faʻatuatua i le Atua Samoa ua Tasi and Samoa National Democratic Party parties to contest the 2021 election.[4] SNDP and Tumua ma Puleono candidates ran under the FAST banner, with only one candidate in each constituency.[5]
The party was deregistered on 7 March 2023 after failing to pay the annual registration fee.[6]
