The 1984 New Zealand general election was a nationwide vote to determine the shape of the 41st Parliament of New Zealand. It marked the beginning of the Fourth Labour Government with David Lange’s Labour Party defeating long-serving Prime Minister Robert Muldoon of the National Party. It was also the last election in which the Social Credit Party won seats as an independent entity. The election was also the only one in which the New Zealand Party a protest party played any substantial role.
