Anguillan general election, 1994
A general election was held in Anguilla in March 1994.[1] Despite a large drop in the Anguilla United Party's percentage of the vote, the loss of the Road North constituency to the Anguilla Democratic Party gave the second and third parties enough seats to form a coalition government. Hubert Hughes of the Anguilla United Party, who had stood on a pro-independence platform, was appointed Chief Minister following the election.[1] The small Anguilla for Good Government party replaced PACE as the fourth party, but like its predecessor, failed to win representation. The future Chief Minister Osbourne Fleming held his seat of Sandy Hill as an independent.
