view · Comoros on 22 November 1992, with a second round on 29 November 1992. Due to electoral irregularities in the initial election, there were also by-elections in six of the 42 constituencies on 13 and 20 December.[1]

The election was contested by 320 candidates representing 22 parties, although the Comorian Union for Progress and the National Union for Democracy in the Comoros both boycotted it in protest at the government's refusal to update voting lists and the detention of major politicians.[1] The Union for Democracy and Decentralisation emerged as the largest party, although it won only seven seats. Voter turnout was 69.3%.[2]
