Elections were held in Nevis on 14 December 1987 to elect members of the Nevis Island Assembly.[1]
The result was a landslide victory for the Nevis Reformation Party (NRP), who held power after winning four of five seats.[2] This was the first election the recently founded Concerned Citizens' Movement (CCM) led by Vance Amory contested, with the CCM winning 38% of the vote and one of five seats.[3]
Aftermath
On 15 December, the next day following the election, the Governor-General officially re-appointed Simeon Daniel as Premier of Nevis and the NRP to form the Nevis Island Administration. The Governor-General also declared the day a public holiday to celebrate the NRP's victory.[4]
