- South African general election, 1977
The 1977 South African general election was held on 30 November 1977. The National Party, led by John Vorster won a landslide victory. The newly formed Progressive Federal Party, led by Colin Eglin became the official opposition. The New Republic Party, successor to the United Party, won only 10 seats, all but one of them in Natal Province. Once again, the Herstigte Nasionale Party failed to win any seats.
In the 1977 elections the National Party got its best-ever result in the elections with support of 64.8% of the white voters and 134 seats in parliament out of 165. Vorster, however resigned as Prime Minister for alleged health reasons, not even a year later on 20 September 1978.
