Parliamentary elections were held in Kiribati on 24 July 1994, with a second round on 31 July.[1] Although all 260 candidates for the 39 seats ran as independents,[2] they could be divided into three groups; the National Progressive Party, Protect the Maneaba, and unaffiliated independents.[3] Independents emerged as the largest group in Parliament, with 19 of the 39 seats.
