Elections were originally scheduled for September 30th but were postponed to October 5th as a result of Hurricane Matthew. A total of 13 parties contested the 21 legislative seats, of which eight parties obtained at least one. The MAN, MFK and PAR were the only parties to obtain four seats, while the Korsou di Nos Tur (KdNT) secured three and is the second-largest opposition party. Since the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles in 2010, no government in Curaçao has lasted the full length of its four-year term, which presents a considerable risk to political stability if the ruling coalition suffers internal frictions.
