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. Voter turnout was just 47.4%.
