Gambian general election, 1992
- Gambian general election, 1992
General elections were held in the Gambia on 29 April 1992. The election date was announced on 14 February and the National Assembly was dissolved three days later. A total of 130 candidates ran for the 36 elected seats, though the ruling People's Progressive Party was the only one with a candidate in every seat. Although he had announced his retirement in December 1991, President Dawda Jawara changed his mind and ran for the position again. Both elections were won by the PPP, with Jawara remaining president. Voter turnout was around 55.8%.
Campaign
The opposition focussed its campaign on corruption and economic mismanagement. The PPP promised it would boost the tourism industry and the economic situation of groundnut farmers.
