1977 Nauruan parliamentary election information


Early parliamentary elections were held in Nauru on 12 November 1977, after Parliament had been dissolved by President Bernard Dowiyogo due to a sustained campaign against the government led by former President Hammer DeRoburt, who had been voted out of office the previous year. Particular controversy had been caused by the Supply Act passed in June, and Dowiyogo stated that elections would be held to give him a mandate.[1] After Parliament failed to approve the budget, Dowiyogo asked Speaker David Gadaroa to dissolve the legislature.[2]

Nine seats were won by supporters of Dowiyogo (who ran under the Nauru Party banner), eight by those of DeRoburt, and one by a candidate without any affiliation, but who supported the Nauru Party.[1] Following the election, Dowiyogo was re-elected President by Parliament on 15 November.
