1992 Bahamian general election

General elections were held in the Bahamas on 19 August 1992. The ruling Progressive Liberal Party won only 44.7% of the popular vote and 16 seats in the House of Assembly. The opposition Free National Movement won 55% of the popular vote and 33 of the 49 seats, a landslide victory.

The election marked the first change of government in the Bahamas since independence in 1973. The PLP had dominated the country's politics since the latter days of colonial rule. Lynden Pindling, who had been head of government since 1967, was succeeded by FNM leader Hubert Ingraham.
