Voters in Nauru have returned the government led by President Ludwig Scotty.
Key ministers also retained their seats in Saturday's election which saw 15 of the 18 MPs being re-elected.
Rene Harris, who has been in opposition, also kept his seat.
The election was brought forward by several months and its outcome is seen as an endorsement of the reforms launched by the Scotty administration.
The elections were monitored by the Pacific Islands Forum which assisted Nauru with reforms in 2004 when the country was in a deep crisis.
