The fourth general election since independence was held from 10 July to 17 July 1982.
The Alliance Party retained power by winning 28 House of Representativesseats, but its overall majority was reduced from 20 to four. The NFP, led by Mr. Jai Ram Reddy, won 22 seats and the Western United Front, a new party professing a multiracial outlook and in coalition with the NFP, captured the remaining two. Voting was divided on ethnic lines, Alliance Party drawing support from the indigenous Fijian population and NFP from Fiji's Indian population. On 20 July, Sir Kamisese Mara was sworn in for his fourth term as Prime Minister.
