Samoa's prime minister-elect says she continues to be patient as the country's political deadlock continues.
The caretaker prime minister, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, is refusing to relinquish power, after falling one seat short in the results from April's election.
The FAST party's Fiame Naomi Mata'afa says she's prepared to wait however long it takes.
She told the Pacific Media Network that Tuilaepa's behaviour highlights why she broke away from his party to join FAST.
