A federal election was held on Monday, 15 December 1986 to determine the members of the inaugural Parliament of Craftia. The incumbent centre-left Craftia Liberty Party government, led by Leader Lachlan Charles, defeated the opposition centre-right National Party of Craftia, led by Opposition Leader Jim McIntyre.
The Liberty Party was able to form the inaugural federal government of Craftia despite not winning a majority, after the two conservative opposition parties, the Nationals and the Protection of Craftia Party, mutually refused to cooperate with each other after disagreements on leadership. In the days after the election, six moderate National MPs and four moderate Protection MPs resigned from their respective parties and together formed the Craftian Democrats, a centrist party that supported the Liberty minority government, forming a coalition with 40 seats (a 3 seat majority), opposed to the Nationals' 21 and Protection's 14.
