Two parties already present in the Council retained representation in the Island Council: the Aruban People's Party (AVP) and the Aruban Patriotic Party (PPA). In addition, the Aruba National Union (UNA) formed a combined list with the Independent Aruban Party (PIA) and Revolutionary Workers' Party (PRO) under the abbreviation UNA-P.P.
The Sint Maarten general elections, which were scheduled for 1967 to elect the 5 members of the Island Council, never took place because only the incumbent Democratic Party postulated a list.[2]
