Samoa's FAST party is seeking to clarify an appeal decision about extra parliamentary seats for women.
An Appeal Court decision last week upheld the Suypreme Court's earlier voiding of an extra women's seat in the wash-up from April's national election.
The ruling meant the FAST party maintained its majority of 26 seats in the 51-seat Parliament.
But the court also ruled that six rather than five women MPs is the correct number under Samoa's system of a 10 percent of parliamentary seats to be reserved for women.
The FAST Party deputy leader Laauli Leuatea Polataivao says the caucus is awaiting the court's clarification.
However caretaker Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sa'ilele Malielegaoi continues to refuse to concede defeat.
He says no government will be formed until all 28 election petitions are heard - with a possible by-election to decide the sixth woman seat.
