Naoero Amo (Nauru First) is the only formal political party in the Republic of Nauru. Its positions tend to be liberal, pro-government transparency, and Christian-democratic. Its founding members were Kieren Keke (a medical doctor), David Adeang (a legal counsel and former finance minister), Marlene Moses (former health minister), Roland Kun (director of the island's fisheries), Sean Oppenheimer (manager of Capelle's, the country's largest private enterprise), and Sprent Dabwido (an insurance worker). (Sean Oppenheimer has since resigned from the party due to death threats.) Its official mouthpiece is the sporadically published The Visionary , which contains harsh criticism of government officials.

In the May 2003 elections three members of Naoero Amo were elected: David Adeang, Kieren Keke, and Riddel Akua . Adeang became finance minister and Keke minister of health, sports, and transportation. Akua became the Chairman of Nauru Phosphate Corporation. The ministers lost their posts again when President Ludwig Scotty's government was ousted in August 2003 but regained new posts when he regained power on June 22 2004. David Adeang is now the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Justice.
