An election was held in Nevis on 1 June 1992 to elect five members of the Nevis Island Assembly.[1] The election saw the opposition Concerned Citizens' Movement (CCM) win a majority after increasing their representation from one to three of five seats, while the ruling Nevis Reformation Party (NRP) lost two seats to the CCM, winning two out of five seats.[2][3][4] The election saw a turnout of 65.7% of registered voters.[5]
This was the first time the NRP had lost power since the founding of the assembly in 1983, and despite the NRP winning more votes overall than the CCM.[2][6] Following the election, CCM leader Vance Amory was sworn in as Premier of Nevis,[3] while the defeat for the NRP saw outgoing premier Simeon Daniel step down as leader of the NRP.[2]
