6 April 1987 Saint Lucian general election

General elections were held in Saint Lucia on 6 April 1987. The result was a victory for the United Workers Party, which won nine of the seventeen seats. Voter turnout was 60.7%.
As the UWP had only won a single seat majority, Prime Minister John Compton called early elections, which were held on 30 April in order to try to increase the party's majority. However, the distribution of seats remained the same, despite the UWP obtaining an increased 53.2% of the vote.
