The intoxication of power is such that once someone gets on one's mind, what is right and what is wrong, he does not care about it. Something similar is seen happening in Samoa, a country located in the Pacific Sea region, where the doors of Parliament could not open for the new Prime Minister of the country. Know what is the whole matter.The PM refused to step down after the ruling party lost the election in Samoa. Not only this, if the PM could not bear his defeat, then he locked in the Parliament. This is the first time in Samoa that this country has got the first female Prime Minister. But unhappy with the handing over of power, the current PM Twilaippa Sailele Malilegaoi has refused to step down.Due to the lock in Parliament, the first woman PM Naomi Mataafa was forced to take an oath by bringing a tent outside Parliament. Since then, the leadership crisis has arisen in the country. Let me tell you, the Human Rights Protection Party, which has been ruling Samoa for 40 years, was removed from power in the elections held in April by Mataafa's Fast Party. Here, Malilegaoi is not ready to accept this ceremony. They have called it unofficial.The election between HRPP and Fast Party was a very tough contest. During this time both parties won 25–25 seats, but after this an independent winner gave his support to Fast. After this decision, the HRPP resorted to the law to save power and said in the court that the opponents did not follow the female MP quota properly.The Election Commission then canceled the April voting results and announced a new election on 21 May. But five days ago, the Supreme Court said the April election was fine, after which HRPP was very disappointed with this crop.PM Malilegaoi ruled the country for 22 years before this election. Samoa gained independence from New Zealand in the year 1962. However, now everyone's eyes are fixed on how this political crisis will be dealt with.
