	Fiji election of 1977 (March) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fiji's election for the House of Representatives held in March 1977 was the second since independence from the United Kingdom in 1970.
		Three days after the election, however, the party splintered in a leadership brawl, and the Governor General, Ratu Sir George Cakobau, called on the defeated Ratu Mara to form an interim government pending fresh elections.
		Whatever the truth of the myriad allegations about the parties involved, Ratu Mara remained in office in an interim capacity despite his electoral defeat, and a fresh election was held to resolve the impasse in September.

	Fiji election of 1977 (September) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A general election to Fiji's House of Representatives was held in September 1977, to resolve the impasse of an earlier election that had been held in March.
		The National Federation Party, the narrow winner of the election, had failed to form a government, owing to internal disputes, and the Governor-General, Ratu Sir George Cakobau, had called on the defeated Prime Minister, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, to form an interim government, pending fresh elections.
		The new elections held in September resulted in a landslide win for Ratu Mara's Fijian Alliance Party, which won an unprecedented 36 seats out of 52.
