1986 Nauruan parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held in Nauru on 6 December 1986.[1] As there were no political parties, all candidates ran as independents. However, the Parliament elected had two opposing groups holding nine seats each, resulting in a deadlock. To resolve the issue, Parliament was dissolved on 30 December, prompting fresh elections in January.[1]
