Parliamentary elections were held in Mongolia on 28 June 1992,Dieter Nohlen, Florian Grotz & Christof Hartmann (2001) Elections in Asia: A data handbook, Volume II, p490 {{ISBN|0-19-924959-8}} the first to be held after the adoption of the 1992 constitution.{{Cite journal |date=1992 |title=Election Watch |url=https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/225501 |journal=Journal of Democracy |volume=3 |issue=4 |pages=130–133 |issn=1086-3214}} The result was a victory for the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP), which won 70 of the 76 seats in the State Great Khural. Voter turnout was 96%.Nohlen et al., p491

During the campaign the MPRP distanced itself from Marxism-Leninism, framing itself instead as a centrist party.{{Cite journal |last=Batbayar |first=Tsedendambyn |date=1993 |title=Mongolia in 1992: Back to One-Party Rule |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2645287 |journal=Asian Survey |volume=33 |issue=1 |pages=61–66 |doi=10.2307/2645287 |issn=0004-4687}} However, the leadership of the party was the same as during the communist period.{{Cite journal |last=Batbayar |first=Tsedendambyn |date=1993 |title=Mongolia in 1992: Back to One-Party Rule |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2645287 |journal=Asian Survey |volume=33 |issue=1 |pages=61–66 |doi=10.2307/2645287 |issn=0004-4687}} The success of the MPRP in the elections was considered surprising.
