Chamber:
	National Assembly
Dates of elections / renewal (from/to):
	21 March 1989
Purpose of elections:
	Elections were held for the 11 popularly-chosen members of Parliament on the normal expiry of the members' term of office.
Background and outcome of elections:
	The 1989 general elections were marked by the emergence of the Concerned Citizen's Movement (CCM), which won one of the three Nevis seats and thus joined the three existing political groups – the ruling People's Action Movement (PAM), the Nevis Reformation Party (NRP) and the socialist Labour Party (Workers' League) – in National Assembly representation. The PAM retained its six seats and the coalition (PAM/NRP) Government thus continued in office with only minor changes. The Prime Minister since independence in 1983 is Mr. Kennedy Simmonds.
