1992 Ghanaian parliamentary election

Add article description


Parliamentary elections were held in Ghana on 29 December 1992, the first since 1979. Voter turnout was just 28.1% amidst a boycott by opposition parties, who had claimed the preceding presidential elections in November โ€“ won by former military ruler Jerry Rawlings with 58% of the vote โ€“ were fraudulent, with international observers considering them not to have been conducted in a free and fair manner.[1][2]

The result was a victory for Rawlings's National Democratic Congress, which won 189 of the 200 seats.[3]

Results

A total of 8,229,902 voters were registered,[4] but 893,056 were in the 23 constituencies that were uncontested.[1]
