Tuilo’a Toeulu Anitele’a Tuilo’a (~1952 — 9 June 2014)[1] was a Samoan politician and former member of the Legislative Assembly of Samoa. He was a member of the Human Rights Protection Party.
Tuilo'a was from Siusega.[1] He was first elected to the Legislative Assembly at the 2006 Samoan general election.[1] He was re-elected at the 2011 election and appointed Associate Minister for the Ministry of Women, Community and Social Development.[1] In January 2012 he threatened to assault fellow HRPP MP Peseta Vaifou Tevaga on the floor of parliament.[2] Later that year he called on New Zealand Samoans to vote out Labour MP Su'a William Sio after the latter had criticised Samoan fundraising in his electorate.[3] Suffering from kidney failure and requiring regular dialysis, he used his place in parliament to advocate for better dialysis treatment for Samoans.[1]
He died at his home in Siusega on 9 June 2014.[1] His death sparked the 2014 Gaga'ifomauga by-election.[4]
