Indirect presidential elections were held in Nauru on 1 November 2010 following the parliamentary elections held on 28 April 2010 and the repeated elections on 19 June 2010. The election was attempted to be held on 3 June 2010 and then on 4 June 2010, but failed both times.[1][2] Another attempt was set for 6 July 2010 after incumbent president Marcus Stephen agreed to step aside to facilitate Aloysius Amwano's election as speaker.[3] Rykers Solomon, an opposition MP, joined the government on 6 July 2010, but Amwano nonetheless refused to allow a motion to elect the president, suspending parliament until 8 July 2010.[4] Amwano was subsequently dismissed by president Stephen[5] and replaced by deputy speaker Landon Deireragea.[6]

By 30 July 2010, parliament still had not sat since the sacking of Amwano, and president Stephen extended the state of emergency by another 21 days.[7] The emergency situation has been extended several times more since, and will now continue into October.[8]

The deadlock was finally broken when former president Ludwig Scotty accepted the nomination to become speaker,[9] and Stephen was elected over opposition MP Milton Dube in a secret vote with 11 to 6 votes on 1 November 2010.[10]
