Question: Information:  - A general election was held in the Northern Territory on Saturday June 7 , 1980 . It was the first to be held since self - government was attained two years earlier , and was won by the incumbent Country Liberal Party ( CLP ) under Chief Minister Paul Everingham . Although the CLP 's share of the vote increased by almost 10 percentage points , it lost one seat . The only independent member of the Legislative Assembly , Dawn Lawrie , retained her seat of Nightcliff .  - Paul Anthony Edward Everingham AO (born 4 February 1943) was the head of government of the Northern Territory from 1977 to 1984, serving as the second and last Majority Leader (19771978) and the first Chief Minister of the Northern Territory from 1978 to 1984.  - Head of government is a generic term used for either the highest or second highest official in the executive branch of a sovereign state, a federated state, or a self-governing colony, (commonly referred to as countries, nations or nation-states) who often presides over a cabinet, a group of ministers or secretaries who lead executive departments. The term "head of government" is often differentiated from the term "head of state", (e.g. as in article 7 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, article 1 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Internationally Protected Persons, including Diplomatic Agents and the United Nations protocol list), as they may be separate positions, individuals, and/or roles depending on the country.  - The Chief Minister of the Northern Territory is the head of government of the Northern Territory. The office is the equivalent of a State Premier.  When the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly was created in 1974, the head of government was officially known as Majority Leader. This title was used in the first parliament (19741977) and the first eighteen months of the second. When self-government was granted the Northern Territory in 1978, the title of the head of government became Chief Minister.    What is the relationship between 'northern territory general election' and 'chief minister of the northern territory'?
