- The results saw the PNM and the [[United National Congress]] both win 17 seats. Although they had received fewer votes, the UNC was able to form a coalition with the two-seat [[National Alliance for Reconstruction]], allowing UNC leader [[Basdeo Panday]] to become the country's first Prime Minister of Indian descent.Nohlen, p631
