Fiame Naomi Mata'afa, who may become the next prime minister of Samoa, says the support of the country's diaspora for her FAST party was critical.

Fiame's party has tentatively won 25 seats in the new parliament, the same as the caretaker Human Rights Protection Party, with one seat held by an independent.

Don Wiseman spoke with Fiame Mata'afa about her party's meteoric rise, beginning by asking her when she expected results to be finalised.
