This was the second election held under the 1970 constitution. This election was held from 19 March to 2 April 1977. A split appeared in NFP before the elections, but this was patched over by the time niminations were called for the election.
As in 1972, the two main contenders for the 52 House seats were the ruling Alliance Party, led by outgoing Prime Minister Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, and the National Federation Party (NFP), headed by Mr. Siddiq Koya. On election day, the Alliance lost a number of seats but neither of the two major parties was able to claim an overall House majority (27 seats). Despite the fact that the NFP won the most seats (26), the Governor- General asked the defeated Prime Minister, whose party won only 24 seats, to form a minority Government. This touched off strong protests by the NFP. On June 1, the Governor- General dissolved Parliament after the Government was defeated in a vote of confidence. New elections were held in September 1977.
