Laki Mulipola Leiataua (born ~1970)[1] is a Samoan politician and former member of the Legislative Assembly of Samoa. He is a member of the Human Rights Protection Party.
Mulipola is from Salua on Manono Island.[1] He was educated at Salua Manono Primary School, A’ana Secondary School, Samoa College and the National University of Samoa.[1] He worked as a customs agent for nine years before starting his own freight forwarding business. In 2015 he was convicted and discharged of negligent driving causing death after a traffic incident. He was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Samoa in the 2016 Samoan general election[1] and appointed Associate Minister of Finance.[2] [3]
He sought nomination for the 2021 election, but it was refused on the basis that his 2015 conviction made him ineligible to stand.[4] He subsequently withdrew a petition challenging this decision[5] and retired from parliament at the end of the term.[4] [6] In his final speech, he complained that the FAST Party campaigning in his electorate had caused him "sleepless nights".[7] [8]
