General elections were held in Fiji between 19 March and 2 April 1977. As a result of a split in the ethnic Fijian vote, the ruling Alliance Party of Prime Minister Kamisese Mara suffered a narrow defeat. Although the Alliance Party received the most votes, it won only 24 seats, two fewer than the Indo-Fijian-dominated National Federation Party (NFP). One seat was won by the Fijian Nationalist Party, with the remaining seat going to an independent candidate, Osea Gavidi.

dbo:abstract
  • General elections were held in Fiji between 19 March and 2 April 1977. As a result of a split in the ethnic Fijian vote, the ruling Alliance Party of Prime Minister Kamisese Mara suffered a narrow defeat. Although the Alliance Party received the most votes, it won only 24 seats, two fewer than the Indo-Fijian-dominated National Federation Party (NFP). One seat was won by the Fijian Nationalist Party, with the remaining seat going to an independent candidate, Osea Gavidi. Although the NFP emerged as the largest party, Governor-General George Cakobau asked Mara to form a new government, claiming that he had the support of the majority of the House. The new government remained in office until early elections in September the same year. (en)
  • Des élections législatives se tiennent aux Fidji du 19 mars au 2 avril 1977. Il s'agit de renouveler l'ensemble des cinquante-deux membres de la Chambre des représentants (la chambre basse du Parlement) à l'issue d'une législature de cinq ans. Ce sont les deuxièmes élections après l'indépendance du pays en 1970. Elles débouchent sur un parlement sans majorité qui engendre une crise constitutionnelle : le Gouverneur général Ratu George Cakobau fait un usage controversé de ses pouvoirs constitutionnels pour nommer Premier ministre le dirigeant du parti arrivé deuxième.
