1977 New Hebridean general election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Early general elections were held in the New Hebrides on 29 November 1977 following the dissolution of the Representative Assembly elected in 1975 due to the Vanua'aku Pati blocking its work in order to protest the inclusion of members elected by the Chamber of Commerce.
The Vanua'aku Pati and other pro-independence parties boycotted the elections, meaning no seats were contested.[1] The result was a victory for the francophone Tanunion.[2] Nagriamel emerged as the second-largest party with seven seats.[3]
