The 1966 Alaskan general election was held on April 16, 1966 to select peers to the Duma. The Sarugin government, formed sixteen months earlier following the collapse of the Conservative coalition and the announcement that the Christian Party would join a Liberal-led government, was defeated at the polls, with the Conservative-Industrial coalition winding up with 206 seats and relying on support from some members of the independent and recently formed Moderate Party to reinstall Kirill Osopek as Premier on April 19, 1966. It would mark the first and to date only time that a former Premier regained his office, particularly notable in regards to the two leadership challenges Osopek faced in 1965.
