A candidate for the American Samoa governorship Faoa Aitofele Sunia says the public doesn't have confidence in the current leadership.
Faoa who made an unsuccessful bid for governor in 2012 said the territory is beset with problems because of the current leadership of Lolo Maliga.

Faoa said during the campaign he and his running mate Larry Sanitoa will explain how they will address the problems and challenges the territory faces.
Lolo Maliga and the lieutenant governor Lemanu Peleti Mauga formally announced this week they would try for re-election.
