Nauru. According to CountryAAH, Yaren District is the capital city of Nauru. President Ludwig Scotty announced parliamentary elections until August 25. The reason is believed to have been that he sought support for the tough economic reforms that he was beginning to implement to remedy the poor government finances. The election was a victory for the government, which got 15 of the 18 seats in parliament. Scotty and all his ministers retained their mandate. Over 80 candidates competed for the 18 parliamentary seats. The only opposition member to be re-elected was former President René Harris, who was allowed to leave the government after a declaration of confidence in 2004.
On August 28, Scotty was re-elected president of the new parliament. He retained his former ministers. In November, three of them resigned after a quarrel with Finance and Foreign Minister David Adeang, who they accused of financial irregularities in contacts with Thai businessmen. Adeang said it was instead a power struggle.
A group of MPs accused President Scotty of not doing anything about the corruption charges. They failed to trap him in a vote of no confidence in November, but succeeded in December when several of Scotty’s supporters had switched to a political faction led by former Health Minister Kieren Keke, one of the resigning ministers. Marcus Stephen, former champion of weightlifting, was elected new president. He promised more transparency in the state’s affairs.
