The Centre Party was an informal political party in the Pacific nation of Nauru.
The party was formed by the former President of Nauru, Kinza Clodumar, and supported René Harris, Clodumar's ally, in the Parliament, mainly in votes of no confidence for or against Harris.
The CP has only played a minor role in the Nauruan Parliament and in the political life in Nauru. The party's elected representative was Kinza Clodumar as an MP from 1997 until 2003. Clodumar mounted a failed bid to return to parliament in the October 23, 2004 general election.
The politics of Nauru take place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the President of Nauru is the head of government of the executive branch. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the parliament. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature.
