General elections were held in Gibraltar on 24 March 1988. The elections were a watershed in Gibraltar politics as they saw the first win by the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party (GSLP) led by Joe Bossano whose candidates took 58% of the popular vote and eight of the fifteen seats available in the Gibraltar House of Assembly. Bossano’s party took control away from the Association for the Advancement of Civil Rights (AACR) under outgoing Chief Minister Adolfo Canepa.
