1987 Nauruan parliamentary election

Early parliamentary elections were held in Nauru on 24 January 1987. The Parliament elected in December 1986 had nine supporters of Kennan Adeang and nine of former president Hammer DeRoburt. The resulting deadlock was broken when Adeang supporter Kinza Clodumar switched sides,[1] resulting in Parliament being dissolved.[2] As there were no political parties, all of the fifty-plus candidates ran as independents. Voter turnout was 92.67%.[2]
