General elections were held in Grenada on 7 December 1976. The result was a victory for the Grenada United Labour Party of Eric Gairy, which won nine of the 15 seats, whilst the opposition People's Alliance (a coalition of the New Jewel Movement, the Grenada National Party and the United People's Party won the remainder. However, the elections were marred by fraud (and branded fraudulent by international observers), as Gairy's secret police, known as the Mongoose Gang, had been threatening the opposition. Voter turnout was 65.2%.

  • Las elecciones generales se llevaron a cabo en Granada el 7 de diciembre de 1976, constituyendo las primeras elecciones desde la independencia del país.​ La elección, profundamente controvertida, dio una nueva victoria al oficialista Partido Laborista Unido de Granada, (GULP) liderado por Eric Gairy, que mantuvo el cargo de Primer ministro, aunque su mayoría parlamentaria pasó de ser de 13 a 9 de los 15 escaños. Su principal opositor, la Alianza Popular (una coalición que englobaba a los demás partidos políticos del país en contra de Gairy), denunció que los resultados habían sido manipulados en favor del GULP mediante la intimidación de los votantes haciendo uso de su policía política, la llamada "Mongoose Gang" (Banda de la Mangosta).​ (es)
