An indirect election was held in Apia to elect the O le Ao o le Malo (head of state) of Samoa on 16 June 2007[1] after the death of the country's head of state for four and a half decades, Malietoa Tanumafili II, in May 2007. Former Prime Minister Tui Ātua Tupua Tamasese Efi was elected unopposed by the 49-member strong parliament.[2] This O le Ao o le Malo election was the first to occur since Samoa gained independence in 1962.
