Samoa's gender quota laws may have spurned chances of nation swearing in its first female PM:

"The complication stems from Samoa's controversial "10 per cent law" designed to improve female representation in politics by introducing a gender quota."

"The 2013 law mandates that at least 10 per cent of Samoa's Parliament be reserved for women, generally interpreted to require at least five women be elected to its 54 seats."

"But the Electoral Commission has interpreted that law differently, stating 'only 9.8 per cent of the women membership was achieved after the general election' and therefore one more female politician would be appointed to Parliament."

It's a stupid interpretation, but even more stupid is the arithmetic -- 5 is 9.3% of 54, not 9.8%. I mean, if you're going to quibble, at least do it properly.
