Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox officeholder Aʻeau Peniamina Leʻavai (born 1942)[1] is a Samoan politician and matai. He served as the Speaker of the Samoan Legislative Assembly from 1988 to 1991. He is a member of the Tautua Samoa Party.
Peniamina was educated at Fiji School of Medicine and the University of London[2] and later worked as a dentist.[3] He was first elected to Parliament as a member of the Human Rights Protection Party in the 1985 general election.[1] He was re-elected in 1988, and served as Speaker of the Assembly from 1988 to 1991, before losing his seat at the 1991 election.[3]
Peniamina was banished from his village after announcing his intention to run as a candidate for the Samoan National Development Party at the 2001 election.[4] He was elected despite this,[5] and was the opposition's candidate for Speaker, but was defeated by 28 votes to 21.[6]
He was re-elected again in 2006 as a candidate for the Samoan Democratic United Party (SDUP).[3] In 2005, Peniamina was accused of racism over remarks he made about Chinese immigrants but later moderated his comments.[7] In November 2006 he was elected deputy leader of the SDUP.[8] Following a split in the SDUP, the party was no longer recognized, and he became an independent MP.[9] He subsequently joined other independents in establishing the Tautua Samoa Party.[10] In December 2007 he denied involvement in an incident in which fellow opposition MP (and former rival for the Falealupo seat) Mafasolia Papu Va'ai was shot and wounded.[11]
Peniamina ran as a Tautua candidate at the 2011 election and was re-elected. He was subsequently elected deputy leader of the party.[12] He was re-elected again at the 2016 election, as one of only three opposition MPs.[13]
He retired at the 2021 election.[14][2] His seat was won by his daughter, Leota Tima Leavai.
