Parliamentary elections were held in Albania on 22 March 1992, with a second round of voting for eleven seats on 29 March.[1][2] The result was a victory for the opposition Democratic Party of Albania, which won 92 of the 140 seats. After the election Aleksandër Meksi became Prime Minister and Sali Berisha became President.
Campaign
American officials supported the Democratic Party, with US Ambassador William Rierson appearing at their rallies. In response, the Socialist Party accused the Americans of providing "illegitimate support".[3]
