Amando Stowers, also known by the Samoan name Vui Tafilipepe Amato,[1] was a Western Samoan politician. He served as a member of the Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly from 1941 until 1951.
Stowers was a part-Samoan descendant of the English trader John Stowers.[1] A planter, he held the title of vui in Fa'asaleleaga district.[2] He was a founder of the Labour Party in 1936,[3] later becoming its president.
He contested the 1938 elections to the Legislative Council, finishing fourth in the two-seat European constituency.[4] However, he was elected in 1941, surprisingly defeating Alfred Smyth.[5] He was subsequently re-elected in 1944, topping the poll. In 1948 the Legislative Council was replaced with the Legislative Assembly, to which Stowers was elected as sole elected representative of the Labour Party.[6] He did not contest the 1951 elections.
He died in Apia hospital at the age of 76 around the start of 1963.[7]
