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 – won by former military ruler Jerry Rawlings with 58% of the vote – were fraudulent, with international observers considering them not to have been conducted in a free and fair manner.
The result was a victory for Rawlings's National Democratic Congress, which won 189 of the 200 seats.Dieter Nohlen, Michael Krennerich & Bernhard Thibaut, B (1999) Elections in Africa: A data handbook, p435
Results A total of 8,229,902 voters were registered,Nohlen et al. p434 but 893,056 were in the 23 constituencies that were uncontested.
