Naoero Amo

Naoero Amo (Nauru First) is the only formal political party in the Republic of Nauru. Its positions tend to be liberal, pro-government transparency, and Christian-democratic. Its founding members were Kieren Keke (a medical doctor), David Adeang (a legal counsel and former finance minister), Marlene Moses (former health minister), Roland Kun (director of the island's fisheries), Sean Oppenheimer (manager of Capelle's, the country's largest private enterprise), and Sprent Dabwido (an insurance worker). Its official mouthpiece is the sporadically published The Visionary, which contains harsh criticism of government officials.

In the May 2003 elections three members of Naoero Amo were elected: David Adeang, Kieren Keke, and Fabian Ribauw. The latter became speaker of parliament, while Adeang became finance minister and Keke minister of health, sports, and transportation. The ministers lost their posts again when President Ludwig Scotty's government was ousted in August 2003.
