Parliamentary elections were held in Vietnam on 19 July 1992.[1] The Communist Party of Vietnam was the only party to contest the election, although independent candidates were also allowed, but must be affiliated with the Vietnamese Fatherland Front. Non-affiliated candidates were allowed to run for the first time in this election. While the VFF nominated 599 candidates (almost 90% of which were members of the Communist Party), there were only two independents.[2] The VFF won all 395 seats.
