The error had independent Tautua Party candidate Tamaleta Taimang Jensen at the top of the Vaimauga No 2.
The Commission listed the new provisional results Saturday night which led to incumbent HRPP MP Lenatai Victor declared the winner.
He received 957 votes to Tamaleta's 793.
The change means the Human Rights Protection Party, HRPP, and the Faatuatua i le Atua Samoa ua Tasi, FAST, are again tied on 25 seats, with independent candidate, Tuala Tevaga Iosefo Ponifasio, holding one seat as the potential king-maker.
