The president of Nauru is elected by Parliament from among its members, and is both the head of state and the head of government of Nauru. [3] Nauru's unicameral Parliament has 19 members, with an electoral term of three years. [4] Political parties only play a minor role in Nauru politics, and there have often been periods of instability in the Presidential office. Shifting allegiances among a small number of individuals can lead to frequent changes in the makeup of the government, including who occupies the office of the president. [5]
