O le Ao o le Malo
The O le Ao Mamalu o le Malo (Samoan for "Head of State") is the head of state of Samoa. The position is described in Part III of the 1960 Samoan constitution. At the time the constitution was adopted, it was anticipated that future heads of state would be chosen from among the four Tama a 'Aiga "matai" paramount chiefs in line with customary protocol. This is not a constitutional requirement, so Samoa can be considered a parliamentary republic rather than a constitutional monarchy. The government Press Secretariat describes Head of State as a "ceremonial president". The holder is given the formal style of Highness, as are the heads of the four paramount chiefly dynasties.
Members of the Council of Deputies act as deputy heads of state, standing in for the head of state when they are unable to fulfil their duties.
The current O le Ao o le Malo is Tuimalealiifano Va'aletoa Sualauvi II, who was elected to a five-year term which started on 21 July 2017.
