Fuimaono Naoia Tei is a Samoan politician and former member of the Legislative Assembly of Samoa. Elected as a member of the Samoan Democratic United Party, she later joined the Tautua Samoa Party.
Fuimaono is a businesswoman and the daughter of the former Cabinet Minister Falealili Fuimaono Mimio.[1]
She was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Samoa in the 2006 elections,[2] and was one of four women MPs at the time. In February 2007, SDUP deputy leader A'eau Peniamina left the party, and falsely claimed that Fuimaono had joined him.[3] In 2009, she formally announced that she had joined the newly formed Tautua Samoa Party. In May 2009, she was consequently expelled from Parliament by the Speaker, due to a rule prohibiting post-electoral party membership changes.[4] In July 2009, her expulsion from parliament was quashed by the Supreme Court of Samoa, who ruled that the formation of new parties by independents was legal.[5]
She lost her seat in the 2011 election.
