Samuelu Penitala Teo is a Tuvaluan politician. He is the son of Sir Fiatau Penitala Teo who was appointed as the first Governor General of Tuvalu (1978–1986) following independence from Great Britain.[2]
He was first elected to the Parliament of Tuvalu at the 1998 general election to represent the constituency of Niutao.[2] He served as the Minister of Works, Energy and Communications in the governments led by Ionatana Ionatana (1999-2000)[1] and Lagitupu Tuilimu (2000-2001). He was the Minister for Natural Resources in the governments led by Faimalaga Luka (2001) and Koloa Talake (2001–2002). He was re-elected in the 2002 Tuvaluan general election, then lost his seat in the 2006 Tuvaluan general election when the vote of the Tuvaluan electorate resulted in the election of 8 new members to the 15 member parliament.[3][4]
Samuelu Teo was again elected to represent Niutao in the 2015 Tuvaluan general election.[5][6][7] The 2015 election was strongly contested with 6 candidates including the two incumbent MPs (Vete Sakaio and Fauoa Maani) and three former MPs (Sir Tomu Sione, Tavau Teii and Teo).[6]
Following the 2019 Tuvaluan general election, on 19 September 2019, the members of parliament elected Kausea Natano from Funafuti as prime minister;[8][9][10] and Teo was elected as Speaker of the Parliament of Tuvalu.[11]
