The parliament has met today for its first time following the general election on Saturday.
Cyril Buraman, one of the members for Anetan/Ewa, has been voted in as the new Speaker.
In the Aiwo constituency, where voting was put off until Monday after a legal dispute, Milton Dube and Aaron Cook have taken the two seats.
The Nauru Government said its increased majority promises more continuity and further stability.
