Elections for a Legislative Assembly were held in Nauru on 26 January 1968.[1]
Background
A Constitutional Convention had been elected in 1967. It produced a new constitution in preparation for independence, which provided for an 18-member Legislative Assembly with a three-year term. The Assembly would then appoint a five-member Council of State to exercise executive power.[1]
Results
Of the 18 elected members, half consisted of the nine members of the Legislative Council elected in 1966.[1]
Aftermath
The Assembly met for the first time on 31 January and elected the new Council of State. The Council subsequently elected Hammer DeRoburt as its chairman.[1]
