Political role

edit

Living at the Buada Lagoon, Adam was elected to the Parliament of Nauru for the Buada Constituency in the 2000 general elections. This was somewhat of a noted achievement, given that Adam thereby ousted former President of Nauru Ruben Kun from his Parliamentary seat. He was acting Speaker of the Parliament of Nauru in July 2004.[4]

Loss of Parliamentary seat

edit

In 2007 he lost his seat to Shadlog Bernicke. He again sought election in April 2010 but failed to get elected.[5]
