Goals and Influence
The most important goal of the DPN was to prevent an expansion of power of DeRoburt and to force the role of the Parliament. In 1989 DeRoburt had been ousted in a vote of no confidence by Kenos Aroi who had been supported by Adeang and his entourage, but only for four months. Bernard Dowiyogo is the last DPN member to have been President of Nauru (2003). Afterwards the DPN increasingly has lost influence; considering it hasn't attained a seat in the Parliament since Dowiyogo's death in 2003.

Famous quotes containing the words goals and/or influence:
“Our ego ideal is precious to us because it repairs a loss of our earlier childhood, the loss of our image of self as perfect and whole, the loss of a major portion of our infantile, limitless, ain’t-I-wonderful narcissism which we had to give up in the face of compelling reality. Modified and reshaped into ethical goals and moral standards and a vision of what at our finest we might be, our dream of perfection lives on—our lost narcissism lives on—in our ego ideal.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“The improvements of ages have had but little influence on the essential laws of man’s existence: as our skeletons, probably, are not to be distinguished from those of our ancestors.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
