1990 Niuean general election

General elections were held in Niue on 7 April 1990,[1] seven months after Cyclone Ofa caused considerable damage to the island.[2] While primarily contested by independents, the elections saw the emergence of two political parties: the Action Party led by Young Vivian, and the Niue People's Action Party led by Sani Lakatani.[1] The two parties merged shortly before the election. Voter turnout was 94%.
