Aveau Tuala Lepale Niko Faitala Palamo is a Samoan rugby player, judge, politician and former member of the Legislative Assembly of Samoa. He is a member of the Tautua Samoa Party.
Aveau is a former Manu Samoa 15s and 7s rugby player and coach.[1] He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Samoa in the 2011 election, representing the constituency of Faleata East.[2] Aveau beat 3 other candidates from the villages of Vaimoso, Lepea and Vailoa to gain the seat, with a convincing win of more than 200 votes over the second place candidate from Lepea. He ran again in the 2016 election,[3] but was unsuccessful.
Following his departure from politics Palamo coached the Samoa women's national rugby union team.[4] In May 2018 he was appointed Director of the 2019 Pacific Games Committee,[5] but he resigned in November of that year due to differences with the committee.[6] [7]
