September 1977 Fijian general election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Early general elections were held in Fiji between 17 and 24 September 1977.[1] They followed elections in March which resulted in a hung parliament and no party able to gain a majority. The new election resulted in a landslide win for the Alliance Party (Fiji) led by Prime Minister Kamisese Mara, which won 36 seats out of 52. It was aided by a split in the main opposition, the National Federation Party (NFP) and a decline in support for the Fijian Nationalist Party.
