Parliamentary elections were held in Nigeria on 4 July 1992, the first since the 1983 military coup. Only two parties were allowed to contest the elections, which resulted in a victory for the Social Democratic Party, which won 52 of the 91 Senate seats and 314 of the 593 House seats, despite the National Republican Convention receiving more votes.[1] Voter turnout was only 25%.[2]
