A by-election was held in the Gagaʻifomauga 2 constituency in Samoa on 3 June 2022. It was won by Independent politician Foʻisala Lilo Tuʻu Ioane.
The by-election was triggered by the death of the incumbent member of parliament (MP) Vaʻele Paʻiaʻaua Iona Sekuini of the Faʻatuatua i le Atua Samoa ua Tasi (FAST) party, in March 2022. Originally five members were expected to contest the seat: Two members of the Human Rights Protection Party (HRPP), Soʻoalo Umi Feo Mene, a former associate minister of justice who previously represented the constituency from 2011 to 2021, and Soʻoalo Fineaso Poka. A single member of FAST, Lomia Tauloa Moafanua Siaaga, filed his candidacy. The remaining candidates consist of Independents Falesaopule Vaialia Iosua and Foʻisala Lilo Tuʻu Ioane. On 19 May 2022 Soʻoalo Umi Feo Mene withdrew his candidacy to support Sooalo Fineaso Poka.
