General elections were held in the Cayman Islands in November 1984.[1] The ruling Team for National Unity led by Jim Bodden lost all eight seats due to a scandal over Caymanian banks being used to launder drug money.[1] The opposition Progress with Dignity Team of Benson Ebanks won three seats in the Legislative Assembly, but the majority (nine) were won by independents.[2] Ebanks subsequently became Chief Minister after forming a coalition.[2]
