The Best Party of Hawaii was a legally recognized political party in the state of Hawaii in the United States, founded by Mayor of Honolulu Frank Fasi in order to run for Governor of Hawaii in 1994 against Democrat Benjamin J. Cayetano and Republican Pat Saiki. In 1997, the Best Party of Hawaii merged with several other third parties, including the Aloha Aina Party of Hawaii, to promote the agenda of native Hawaiian interests.
