President Marcus Stephen gains a 6 seat majority in Nauru’s 18 member parliament after snap elections the past weekend. Stephen declared a state of emergency and dissolved parliament on April 18 as it ground to a halt due to a political impasse. They now have what Stephen calls a “strong workable majority”, which should bring stability to this once rich nation. Nauru has recently resumed exporting phosphates but the country is heavily reliant on fishing and vegetable farming.
