2013 Equatorial Guinean parliamentary election


Parliamentary elections were held in Equatorial Guinea on 26 May 2013, alongside local elections. Following constitutional reforms approved in a 2011 referendum, they were the first elections in which the newly established Senate was elected. The ruling Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea won all but one seat in both houses of Parliament. The only opposition party represented was the Convergence for Social Democracy, which won 1 seat in each chamber. The "Democratic Opposition" bloc, minor allies of the ruling party which placed a combined second in 2004 and 2008, did not contest this election separately.

Electoral system

The 100 members of the Chamber of People's Representatives were elected by closed list proportional representation in multi-member constituencies.
The Senate had 70 members, of which 55 were elected and 15 appointed by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.
