Parliamentary elections were held in Nigeria on 4 July 1992, the first time 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. Voter turnout was only 25%.
