List of political parties in Nauru explained

This article lists political parties in Nauru.In Nauru, political parties do not play a major a role, as in many countries with parliamentary systems, but they have been formed. Officially, however, Nauru remains a non-party democracy.

As the parliamentary website puts it, "Nauru does not have a political party system, so all members of Parliament are effectively independent members. Whilst it is usual for members to form groups, the absence of party discipline means that such groups have often been fluid and subject to change during the term of a Parliament".[1]
