The 2019 Nauruan presidential election was the 31st presidential election in the Republic of Nauru. Incumbent president Baron Waqa was unable to run for re-election as he had lost his seat in the Parliament in the 2019 election, and thus a new president had to be elected.[1] According to the Constitution of Nauru, the president is elected by the Parliament, and must also be a sitting member of the Parliament.[2] Independent candidate Lionel Aingimea defeated Nauru First candidate David Adeang, with 12 and 6 votes respectively.[3] The election was held in conjunction with the parliamentary elections of the same year.[4]
