Incumbent President Ion Iliescu led the field in the first round, but was forced into a run off with Emil Constantinescu, candidate of the oppositional Romanian Democratic Convention (CDR). Constantinescu ran on a quicker transition to a market economy and purging remaining communist influence from the government. He benefited from a marked downturn in Iliescu's popularity tied to both high unemployment and concerns that Iliescu was wavering in his commitment to democracy.https://www.nytimes.com/1992/09/28/world/romanians-vote-but-runoff-is-expected.html Romanians Vote but Runoff Is Expected The New York Times 28 September 1992https://www.nytimes.com/1992/10/06/world/romanian-vote-inconclusive-runoff-planned-next-sunday.html Romanian Vote Inconclusive; Runoff Planned Next Sunday The New York Times 6 October 1992 Despite this, opinion polls ahead of the runoff suggested that Iliescu was favoured for a second full term. Not only was it believed that his 16-point first-round lead was too large for Constantinescu to overcome, but most of the minor candidates were expected to eventually offer their support to Iliescu in the second round.https://www.nytimes.com/1992/10/11/world/president-favored-in-romanian-runoff-today.html President Favored In Romanian Runoff Today The New York Times 11 October 1992 In the end, Iliescu was reelected with 61 percent of the vote. The 1992 Romanian presidential election was the second of its kind held in post-1989 Romania. In the parliamentary election, Iliescu's Democratic National Salvation Front (FDSN), which had split off from the National Salvation Front (FSN) earlier in the year, emerged as the largest party in Parliament, winning 117 of the 341 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 49 of the 143 seats in the Senate.
