Presidential elections were held in Mauritania on 24 January 1992. They followed the constitutional referendum the previous year that resulted in the reintroduction of multi-party democracy, and were the first presidential elections to feature more than one candidate. The result was a victory for incumbent President Maaouya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya of the Democratic and Social Republican Party, who defeated three other candidates with 62.7% of the vote.[1] Voter turnout was just 47.4%.[2]
